S-92365A482 Length 3" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Eliminates pre-drilling requirements with self-drilling tip that penetrates up to 0.22" thickness in steel and sheet metal
• Superior corrosion resistance through zinc-plated steel construction for extended service life in demanding environments
• Maximum material engagement achieved through fully threaded design and thread-forming BSD tapping method
• Secure flush installation with standard flat head profile and 82° countersink angle for clean, professional finishes
• Optimized driving efficiency with No. 3 Phillips drive that provides reliable torque transfer and reduces cam-out
• Precise dimensional consistency with 1/4"-14 thread pitch and right-hand threading ensuring reliable performance
• Reduced installation time through combined drilling and tapping action in single operation

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These zinc-plated steel tapping screws deliver exceptional engineering value by solving critical installation challenges in steel and sheet metal applications. The specialized drilling tip eliminates the need for separate pre-drilling operations, significantly reducing labor time while maintaining structural integrity. The thread-forming BSD design creates strong, permanent threads in parent material without chip formation, preventing loosening under vibration. The 82° countersink angle and flat head profile ensure flush mounting for safety and aesthetics, while the No. 3 Phillips drive provides reliable installation with standard tools. These fully threaded screws offer superior pull-out resistance, making them ideal for construction, industrial equipment, and metal fabrication where maximum durability is required.

Specification Summary & Compliance

Manufactured to precise inch system specifications with 1/4"-14 thread diameter and pitch, these tapping screws feature standard Class 2A thread tolerances for consistent performance. The BSD thread-forming design complies with industry standards for self-tapping fasteners, while the zinc plating provides corrosion protection meeting industrial requirements. These fasteners are suitable for applications requiring penetration of up to 0.22" material thickness and are manufactured using materials compliant with RoHS and REACH environmental standards.
