S-90822A480 Length 1 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Eliminates pre-drilling requirements with integrated No. 3 drill tip, enabling direct installation into steel, stainless steel, and sheet metal up to 0.15" thick
• Superior corrosion resistance provided by 410 Stainless Steel construction, ensuring long-term durability in harsh industrial environments
• Enhanced fastening stability through the flanged hex head design that distributes load evenly and prevents pull-through
• Optimized thread engagement with thread forming BSD technology that creates strong, vibration-resistant connections without chip removal
• High-torque installation capability with external hex drive design that allows for secure tool engagement and efficient driving
• Full-length threading delivers maximum grip length and superior holding power across the entire fastener length
• Industry compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations, meeting international environmental and safety standards

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 10-16 self-drilling tapping screws solve critical installation challenges in metal fabrication and industrial assembly. The 410 Stainless Steel composition provides essential corrosion resistance for outdoor equipment, HVAC systems, and marine applications. The thread forming BSD technology creates precise, tight-fitting threads in parent material without generating chips, eliminating contamination risks in sensitive environments. The integrated No. 3 drill tip with 1/4" length penetrates up to 0.15" thick materials, significantly reducing labor time compared to traditional drilling and tapping methods. The flanged hex head design offers improved bearing surface for sheet metal applications while the external hex drive ensures reliable torque transmission during high-volume production runs.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 10-16 x 1-1/2" tapping screw features a 0.19" thread diameter with 16 TPI right-hand threads and full threading along the 1-1/2" length. Manufactured to BSD tapping screw standards with thread forming technology, it maintains precise dimensional accuracy for consistent performance. The fastener is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and regulatory acceptance for industrial distribution and use.
