S-90628A290 Length 2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion protection with corrosion-resistant coated steel construction, extending service life in harsh environments
• Integrated weatherproof sealing via the steel/rubber washer, preventing moisture and contaminant ingress for reliable joints
• Efficient self-drilling installation with the drilling tip, eliminating pre-drilling and reducing assembly time in steel and sheet metal up to 0.15" thick
• High-strength thread-forming design creates strong, permanent threads in base materials for superior vibration resistance
• Secure external hex drive allows for high-torque application with standard tools, ensuring tight, reliable fastening
• Full threading along the 2" length provides maximum grip and adjustability across the entire fastener
• BSD standard compliance ensures consistent performance and interchangeability in industrial applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 10-16 hex head tapping screw is engineered for demanding steel and sheet metal applications, where speed and durability are critical. The thread-forming design with a drilling tip eliminates the need for separate drilling and tapping operations, significantly reducing labor and potential alignment errors in assemblies up to 0.15" thick. The corrosion-resistant coated steel material and integrated sealing washer work in tandem to create a robust, weatherproof seal, protecting joints from rust and environmental degradation. This makes it an ideal fastener for HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and outdoor metal structures, ensuring long-term reliability and reducing maintenance cycles.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a No. 10-16 thread with a 0.19" thread diameter and 16 threads per inch, conforming to BSD (Thread Forming) standards for thread-forming screws. The fully threaded 2" length and external hex drive provide precise installation control. It is manufactured from corrosion-resistant coated steel and includes a 1/2" OD flat washer made of steel/rubber. The product is designed for use in materials like steel and sheet metal and complies with industry standards for dimensional accuracy and performance.
