S-92365A492 Length 1 1/4" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Eliminates pre-drilling requirements with its integrated drilling tip that penetrates up to 0.175" of steel and sheet metal, saving significant labor time and tooling costs.
• Superior corrosion resistance provided by the Black-Oxide Steel finish, ensuring long-term reliability and durability in harsh industrial environments.
• Optimized for high-strength thread forming using the BSD Type design, creating strong, wear-resistant threads in parent material for a secure, vibration-resistant hold.
• Efficient and secure installation is guaranteed by the No. 2 Phillips flat head drive and 82° countersink angle, allowing for a flush, professional finish and reducing cam-out.
• Maximum grip and holding power from the fully threaded right-hand design, ensuring consistent engagement and load distribution across the entire fastener length.
• Versatile application range in steel and sheet metal fabrication, making it a reliable, single-solution fastener for various construction and industrial assembly tasks.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 10-16 Black-Oxide Steel tapping screws are engineered to solve critical fastening challenges in steel and sheet metal assemblies. The thread forming (BSD Type) action cold-forms threads into the base material, eliminating chips and providing a tighter, more vibration-resistant fit than traditional cutting screws. This is critical for maintaining structural integrity in dynamic loads. The specialized drilling tip and fully threaded design allow for rapid installation without pre-drilled pilot holes, drastically reducing assembly time and labor costs in high-volume production lines, HVAC systems, and metal frame construction. The Phillips flat head with an 82° countersink ensures a clean, flush finish, meeting professional aesthetic and safety standards.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This fastener adheres to standard inch system measurements with a No. 10-16 thread (16 TPI) and is fully threaded for consistent performance. The Black-Oxide surface treatment on steel provides enhanced corrosion resistance. Manufacturing conforms to industry standards for thread forming screws (BSD Type) and is designed to meet common industry requirements for mechanical fasteners used in construction and industrial applications.
