S-90822A524 Length 2 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Eliminates pre-drilling requirements with integrated drilling tip that penetrates up to 0.15" thickness in steel and sheet metal
• Superior corrosion resistance through 410 stainless steel construction for extended service life in demanding environments
• Enhanced load distribution from the integrated flange design that prevents pull-through and reduces surface damage
• Secure thread formation through thread forming technology that creates strong, vibration-resistant connections in ductile materials
• High-torque installation capability with external hex drive design for reliable fastening in high-stress applications
• Full-length threading ensures maximum grip length and consistent holding power along the entire fastener
• Regulatory compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards for global industrial applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 10 flanged hex head tapping screw delivers exceptional engineering value by solving critical installation challenges in steel, stainless steel, and sheet metal assemblies. The 410 stainless steel composition provides reliable corrosion resistance while maintaining the strength needed for structural applications. The thread forming design creates permanent, vibration-resistant threads without generating chips, making it ideal for electrical enclosures, HVAC systems, and machinery frames. The integrated drilling tip significantly reduces installation time and labor costs by eliminating separate drilling operations, while the external hex drive ensures positive torque transmission during high-volume assembly processes. This combination of features addresses common industrial pain points including material galling, installation efficiency, and long-term joint integrity.
