S-90252A255 Length 3" Wood Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior fiberboard and particleboard grip with thread forming technology that creates permanent, vibration-resistant threads without pre-tapping
• Enhanced corrosion resistance thanks to the black-oxide steel finish that protects against moisture and environmental damage
• Clean, flush installation with standard flat head profile and 82° countersink angle that sits perfectly flush with material surfaces
• Reduced material splitting through partial threading design that minimizes stress concentration in wood composites
• Optimized driving efficiency with No. 2 Phillips drive that provides secure bit engagement and prevents cam-out
• Precision installation guidance with recommended 5/64" drill bit size ensuring proper pilot holes for maximum holding strength
• Extended thread engagement with 2.01" minimum thread length delivering superior pull-out resistance in engineered wood products

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 8 wood screws are specifically engineered to address common fastening challenges in fiberboard and particleboard applications. The thread forming technology eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes while creating stronger, more durable connections that resist loosening under vibration and load cycles. The black-oxide steel construction provides essential corrosion protection for interior applications where moisture may be present. With an 82° countersink angle and flat head design, these screws deliver seamless, professional finishes in cabinetry, furniture manufacturing, and construction projects. The partial threading and pointed tip facilitate easier starting and reduce the risk of material splitting in engineered wood products, making them ideal for production environments where efficiency and reliability are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These 3" wood screws feature precise dimensional tolerances with a head diameter of 0.332" (±0.04" tolerance) and thread diameter of 0.164" with approximately 11 threads per inch. The screws comply with standard inch system measurements and are manufactured to industry specifications for flat head wood screws. The thread forming tapping method follows established engineering principles for creating secure fastening in wood composite materials. These fasteners are suitable for professional woodworking and construction applications where reliable performance in fiberboard and particleboard is required.
