Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 12 tapping screw is engineered to address common fastening challenges in plastic and wood applications, where material cracking and loosening due to vibration are prevalent. The 18-8 stainless steel provides excellent resistance to rust and chemicals, extending service life in humid or corrosive settings. Its thread forming design with cutting wings creates precise threads without generating chips, reducing the risk of debris in sensitive assemblies. The integrated conical washer, made from aluminum, rubber, and steel, offers a reliable seal against environmental elements, making it ideal for outdoor equipment, electronic enclosures, and furniture. By combining a partially threaded shank and external hex drive, it ensures easy alignment and high torque application, streamlining production processes and minimizing installation errors.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw adheres to standard inch measurements, featuring a thread diameter of 0.216" with approximately 11 threads per inch and a minimum thread length of 1 1/4". The external hex drive and hex head design facilitate consistent installation. It complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances and suitable for global industrial use.
