S-90628A288 Length 1 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Eliminates pre-drilling requirements with integrated drilling tip that penetrates up to 0.175" thick steel and sheet metal
• Superior corrosion resistance through specially coated steel construction for extended service life in harsh environments
• Reliable weatherproof sealing provided by integrated steel/rubber washer that prevents moisture and contaminant ingress
• High-strength thread forming design creates permanent, vibration-resistant threads in base materials without chip removal
• Optimized installation efficiency with external hex drive and fully threaded shank for maximum engagement and faster assembly
• BSD thread forming specification ensures consistent performance and compatibility with industry standards
• Secure fastening in multiple materials including steel and sheet metal applications with right-hand threading for standard installation

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 10-16 thread forming tapping screws deliver exceptional value in industrial assembly where weatherproof sealing and corrosion resistance are critical. The corrosion-resistant coated steel construction combined with the integrated steel/rubber sealing washer creates a durable barrier against environmental elements, making them ideal for outdoor equipment, HVAC systems, and metal building components. The BSD thread forming technology eliminates the need for separate tapping operations while creating strong, permanent threads in steel and sheet metal substrates. The drilling tip design significantly reduces installation time by combining drilling and fastening into a single operation, while the external hex drive provides positive torque transmission for reliable clamping force in high-vibration environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 10-16 x 1-1/2" hex head tapping screw features precision thread forming with BSD specification compliance and right-hand threading. The fastener maintains dimensional accuracy with 0.19" thread diameter, 16 TPI thread pitch, and fully threaded shank configuration. The No. 4 drill tip with 19/64" length ensures consistent penetration in materials up to 0.175" thickness. Manufacturing follows industry standards for tapping screws with proper material selection and surface treatment to meet performance requirements for industrial applications.
