• Maximum material engagement and pull-out resistance due to the fully threaded design, delivering robust, vibration-resistant fastening in sheet metal and steel assemblies.
• Reliable thread-forming action with BSD type tapping method creates strong, precise threads in parent material for a secure, lasting hold.
• Broad material compatibility designed for use in steel, stainless steel, and sheet metal, making it a versatile fastener for various fabrication and construction projects.
• Compliance with major environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring they meet international standards for safe and sustainable industrial use.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 12 x 3" self-drilling tapping screws are engineered to solve critical fastening challenges in metalworking and construction. The 410 Stainless Steel material provides essential resistance to rust and corrosion, which is vital for outdoor structures, HVAC systems, and industrial equipment exposed to harsh conditions. The self-drilling tip (No. 3) and thread-forming (BSD) design allow for rapid installation into steel, stainless steel, and sheet metal without pilot holes, drastically reducing assembly time and the risk of worker error. The fully threaded shank and Phillips drive ensure that these screws deliver consistent clamping force and are easy to install with standard drivers, making them an efficient and reliable choice for high-volume production environments and on-site construction where speed and durability are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This fastener features a thread diameter of 0.216" with 14 threads per inch and a fully threaded length of 3 inches. It conforms to BSD tapping screw standards for thread forming. The product is manufactured to be RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant, ensuring it adheres to strict environmental and safety regulations for hazardous substances.
