S-92970A223 Length 2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Eliminates pre-drilling requirements with integrated No. 3 drill tip that penetrates up to 0.187" thick steel, stainless steel, and sheet metal
• Enhanced security and vandal resistance through specialized tamper-resistant T27 Torx drive design
• Superior corrosion resistance provided by 410 stainless steel construction for demanding industrial environments
• Optimized thread-forming performance with A/AB tapping screw design that creates strong, permanent threads in base materials
• Full 2-inch threading ensures maximum grip length and holding power across the entire fastener
• Precise installation control with T27 drive that delivers superior torque transmission compared to standard drives
• Right-hand threads with 14 TPI provide familiar installation while maintaining consistent thread engagement

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 410 stainless steel self-drilling screws deliver exceptional value in metal fabrication and construction applications where time efficiency and reliability are critical. The integrated drilling tip eliminates separate drilling operations, significantly reducing installation time and labor costs while maintaining precision alignment. The thread forming design creates stronger, more durable connections in steel, stainless steel, and sheet metal by displacing material rather than removing it, resulting in improved pull-out resistance. The tamper-resistant T27 Torx drive provides enhanced security for public-facing installations while allowing higher torque application than standard security fasteners. This combination of features makes these tapping screws ideal for HVAC systems, metal building construction, electrical enclosures, and industrial equipment assembly where vibration resistance and long-term performance are essential.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These No. 12-14 x 2" self-drilling screws feature a 0.216" thread diameter with 14 threads per inch and fully threaded shank design. Manufactured to standard thread forming specifications for A/AB tapping screw types with right-hand threading. The fasteners are fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring they meet the latest industrial standards for restricted substances while providing reliable performance in demanding applications.
