S-90123A278 Length 6" ASME B18.2.1 Wood Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments due to 316 stainless steel construction, ideal for outdoor and marine wood applications
• Enhanced driving torque and reduced cam-out with the external hex head design, allowing for secure installation with standard tools
• Exceptional holding power in wood through thread forming technology, which compacts material for a tighter, more reliable grip
• Optimized for deep penetration with a 6" length and partially threaded shank, providing strong anchorage in thick wood members
• Reliable dimensional consistency meeting ASME B18.2.1 specifications, ensuring interchangeability and fit in pre-drilled holes
• Safe for regulated industries with compliance to RoHS 3 and REACH, eliminating concerns over hazardous substances
• Resists vibration loosening with right-hand threading, maintaining joint integrity in dynamic wood structures

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 316 stainless steel hex head wood screw is engineered to address critical challenges in wood construction, such as fastener failure due to moisture, chemicals, and stress. The thread forming design eliminates the need for pre-tapping by displacing wood fibers, creating a robust, high-clamping-force connection that resists pull-out. Its partially threaded configuration concentrates grip strength along the engaged portion, reducing the risk of wood splitting in dense timbers or composite lumber. Ideal for industrial wood fasteners in decking, framing, and outdoor furniture, the screw’s external hex drive ensures efficient installation with high torque capability, while the corrosion-resistant 316 alloy provides long-term durability in coastal or chemically exposed settings, minimizing maintenance and replacement costs.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw adheres to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for consistent thread diameter (0.313") and pitch (approx. 9 TPI), with a right-hand thread and partially threaded shank for controlled engagement. It is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and material restrictions are met for industrial use.
