S-92365A350 Length 1" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, extending service life in demanding industrial environments.
• Efficient, self-tapping installation via thread forming (BSD) design that creates strong, permanent threads in steel and sheet metal without pre-drilling.
• Enhanced driving control and reduced cam-out with the Phillips No. 2 drive, ensuring secure fastening and minimizing tool slippage.
• Flush, professional finish achieved with the standard flat head and 82° countersink angle, ideal for applications requiring a smooth surface.
• Maximum material penetration and grip from the fully threaded 1" length and drilling tip, capable of drilling through up to 0.098" thickness.
• Reliable performance in high-vibration settings due to the thread forming action, which provides excellent resistance to loosening.
• Broad compatibility with common No. 8-18 thread specifications, making them versatile for various steel and sheet metal assemblies.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 8-18 zinc-plated steel tapping screws are engineered to address common challenges in metalworking and construction, such as the need for speed and reliability in fastening without pre-tapped holes. The thread forming (BSD) design displaces material to create strong, load-bearing threads, reducing the risk of strip-out and improving joint integrity in steel and sheet metal applications. The integrated drilling tip allows for direct penetration into materials up to 0.098" thick, streamlining assembly processes and minimizing labor. Combined with the Phillips flat head and corrosion-resistant zinc plating, these screws deliver consistent performance in HVAC, machinery, and structural projects, ensuring long-term durability and reduced maintenance.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This product adheres to standard inch measurements with a thread diameter of 0.164" and approximately 18 threads per inch, conforming to common BSD tapping screw standards. The flat head features an 82° countersink angle and standard profile for precise fit. Manufactured from zinc-plated steel, these screws meet typical industry requirements for mechanical properties and are suitable for use in compliance with general industrial fastener specifications, though specific certifications like RoHS or REACH should be verified per batch.
