Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These zinc-plated steel tapping screws are engineered to address common challenges in metalworking and assembly, such as stripping, corrosion, and inconsistent thread formation. The Type F thread cutting design and coarse UNC threading enable self-tapping without pre-tapped holes, significantly reducing labor and tooling costs. Ideal for securing components in aluminum, brass, cast iron, and sheet metal, the screws' fully threaded shank and blunt tip ensure precise alignment and resistance to vibration loosening. By meeting ASME B18.6.3 specifications, they deliver reliable performance in automotive, machinery, and construction applications, minimizing downtime and maintenance needs.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This tapping screw features a 1/4"-20 UNC thread with Class 2A tolerance for precise fit, a pan head with Phillips No. 3 drive, and a 3" fully threaded length. It conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J933 manufacturing standards, ensuring dimensional consistency and performance reliability. The product is designed for use with a No. 2 drill bit (0.221" diameter) and complies with RoHS and REACH environmental regulations for safe industrial use.
