S-92970A216 Length 1 1/4" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Enhanced tamper resistance with Torx T25 drive for secure installations in public or high-security industrial environments
• Superior corrosion resistance provided by 410 stainless steel material, ensuring longevity in harsh conditions
• Reduced installation time and effort with self-drilling tip that penetrates up to 0.106" thickness without pre-drilling
• Excellent thread retention through thread forming design that creates strong, durable connections in metal substrates
• Wide material compatibility for use in steel, stainless steel, and sheet metal applications
• Full threading along the 1-1/4" length provides maximum grip and holding power
• Environmental compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe, sustainable industrial use

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 10-16 tapping screw delivers exceptional engineering value in demanding metal fabrication and assembly applications. The 410 stainless steel construction provides reliable corrosion resistance for outdoor equipment, HVAC systems, and industrial machinery exposed to moisture and chemicals. The tamper-resistant Torx T25 drive prevents unauthorized access in public infrastructure, security enclosures, and maintenance panels. The integrated self-drilling tip eliminates the need for separate drilling operations, significantly reducing installation time and labor costs in sheet metal and steel assembly projects. The thread forming design creates precise, strong threads in parent material without chip formation, ensuring vibration-resistant connections that maintain integrity under stress.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This fully threaded tapping screw features a No. 10 screw size with 16 threads per inch and 0.19" thread diameter, manufactured to standard inch system tolerances. The thread forming (Type A/AB) tapping method and right-hand thread direction ensure proper installation in metal substrates. The screw complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental standards, making it suitable for regulated industrial applications requiring material compliance and documentation.
