S-90203A316 Length 1" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 410 Stainless Steel construction for long-lasting performance in demanding industrial environments
• Efficient self-drilling capability with No. 2 drill tip that eliminates pre-drilling, saving time and labor costs
• Excellent thread-forming performance through BSD technology creates strong, permanent threads in steel and sheet metal
• Maximum driving torque with square drive No. 2 design prevents cam-out and ensures secure installation
• Full-length threading provides consistent holding power along the entire 1" length for superior fastening strength
• Compliant with environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH for global market acceptance
• Versatile material compatibility designed specifically for steel, stainless steel, and sheet metal applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 8-18 tapping screws with BSD thread forming technology deliver exceptional value in industrial assembly applications where speed and reliability are critical. The 410 Stainless Steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance while the integrated No. 2 drill tip penetrates up to 0.098" thick materials without pre-drilling, significantly reducing installation time and labor costs. The square drive system ensures maximum torque transfer without stripping, while the fully threaded design creates uniform clamping force throughout the fastened joint. Ideal for sheet metal fabrication, HVAC systems, and structural steel applications, these tapping screws maintain integrity in challenging environments while meeting stringent RoHS 3 and REACH compliance standards for global manufacturing requirements.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 8-18 x 1" tapping screw features precision right-hand threads with 18 threads per inch and 0.164" thread diameter, manufactured to exacting dimensional standards. The BSD thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in base materials without chip formation. The screw meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) compliance and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental responsibility and global market acceptance. With a standard pan head profile and square drive No. 2, the fastener delivers reliable performance in steel, stainless steel, and sheet metal applications up to 0.098" thickness.
