S-90106A229 Length 1 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Eliminates pre-drilling operations with integrated self-drilling tip that penetrates steel, stainless steel, and sheet metal up to 0.15" thickness
• Superior corrosion resistance provided by 410 Stainless Steel construction for long-lasting performance in demanding environments
• Enhanced torque transmission and installation efficiency through external hex drive design that prevents cam-out
• Increased holding power and vibration resistance from thread forming (BSD) design that creates strong, permanent threads in base materials
• Eliminates need for separate washers with integrated flange that distributes clamping force over wider surface area
• Full 1-1/2" thread engagement ensures maximum grip length and pull-out resistance in various material thicknesses
• Compliant with international environmental standards including RoHS 3 and REACH for global industrial applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 410 Stainless Steel flanged tapping screws deliver exceptional value in metal fabrication and assembly operations. The combination of self-drilling tip and thread forming design addresses critical pain points in industrial fastening by eliminating multiple process steps. The No. 3 drill tip efficiently penetrates steel, stainless steel, and sheet metal up to 0.15" thick without pilot holes, significantly reducing labor time and tooling requirements. The BSD thread forming action creates stronger, more reliable threads than conventional cutting screws, while the integrated flange provides secure seating and eliminates washer inventory. This makes them ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, metal building components, and machinery assembly where corrosion resistance and installation efficiency are paramount.
