S-94048A257 Length 2" ASME B18.2.1, ASTM A307, SAE J429 Wood Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with hot-dipped galvanized steel coating, ensuring long-lasting performance in outdoor and high-moisture wood applications.
• High-torque installation capability thanks to the external hex head design, allowing for secure fastening with standard tools without stripping.
• Enhanced holding power in wood through thread forming technology, which creates strong, permanent threads without pre-drilling in many cases.
• Optimized load distribution with a partially threaded shank, reducing wood splitting while maintaining strong grip in demanding construction settings.
• Reliable dimensional consistency meeting ASME B18.2.1 standards, ensuring interchangeability and fit in industrial assemblies.
• Environmental and safety compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations, making it suitable for regulated projects and sustainable building practices.
• Versatile right-hand threading with 9 threads per inch, providing efficient driving and secure fastening in various wood types.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This hot-dipped galvanized steel hex head wood screw is engineered to address common challenges in wood fastening, such as corrosion, stripping, and material failure. The external hex drive enables high torque application, ideal for heavy-duty construction and industrial wood assemblies where vibration resistance is critical. Its thread forming design minimizes wood splitting by displacing material rather than cutting it, enhancing joint integrity in framing, decking, and structural applications. The partially threaded configuration ensures that the unthreaded shank bears load efficiently, while the pointed tip facilitates easy insertion. Compliant with ASME B18.2.1, ASTM A307, and SAE J429, this screw delivers consistent performance, reducing installation time and maintenance costs in professional settings.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a 5/16" thread diameter with approximately 9 threads per inch and a 2" length, adhering to standard inch measurements. It complies with ASME B18.2.1 for dimensional accuracy, ASTM A307 for material specifications, and SAE J429 for mechanical properties. Additionally, it is RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant, ensuring it meets environmental and safety standards for industrial use.
