S-90822A538 Length 6" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Eliminates pre-drilling requirements with integrated drilling tip that penetrates up to 0.21" thickness in steel and sheet metal
• Superior corrosion resistance provided by 410 stainless steel construction for demanding industrial environments
• Enhanced installation efficiency through external hex drive design that accommodates high-torque applications
• Improved load distribution with flanged design that eliminates the need for separate washers
• Maximum holding power achieved through fully threaded, thread-forming design that creates strong, permanent fastenings
• Reliable performance in various materials including steel, stainless steel, and sheet metal applications
• Compliance with environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH for global industrial safety standards

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 410 stainless steel tapping screws deliver exceptional engineering value by solving critical installation challenges in metal fabrication and assembly operations. The combination of thread forming BSD design and integrated drilling tip eliminates the time-consuming two-step process of pre-drilling and tapping, significantly reducing labor costs and installation time. The external hex drive provides superior torque transmission for high-strength applications, while the flanged design distributes clamping force evenly, preventing material deformation in thin sheet metal. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant 410 stainless steel, these tapping screws maintain structural integrity in harsh environments, making them ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, automotive components, and industrial machinery where reliability and durability are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These industrial fasteners feature precision 0.242" diameter threads with 14 TPI right-hand threading and fully threaded construction for maximum engagement. The hex head measures 3/8" across flats with 0.24" height, complemented by a 0.52" flange diameter for enhanced bearing surface. The No. 3 drill tip extends 5/16" to facilitate penetration in materials up to 0.21" thickness. Manufactured to BSD tapping screw standards with thread forming technology, these screws comply with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use in global industrial applications.
