S-97196A110 Length 1 1/2" Wood Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Enhanced corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for long-lasting performance in various environments
• Superior holding power in fiberboard and particleboard thanks to the thread-forming design that creates strong, permanent threads
• Clean, flush finish achieved with the standard flat head and 82° countersink angle for a professional appearance
• Efficient installation with Phillips No. 2 drive and pointed tip, reducing cam-out and allowing for quick, precise driving
• Optimized grip and reduced splitting from the partial threading design, which concentrates holding force where it's needed most
• Right-hand threading ensures standard, intuitive installation for all users
• Precise pilot hole guidance using a 1/16" drill bit for accurate placement and secure fastening

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 6 wood screws are precision-engineered for demanding applications in fiberboard and particleboard, materials known for their susceptibility to splitting and poor thread retention. The zinc-plated steel construction provides a durable barrier against corrosion, extending the life of assemblies in interior environments. The thread-forming tapping method is particularly valuable as it displaces material to create strong, load-bearing threads without pre-tapping, eliminating the need for additional components and reducing installation time. Combined with the 82° countersink angle and flat head, these screws sit flush with the material surface, preventing snagging and ensuring a smooth finish. The Phillips drive and pointed tip facilitate quick starts and controlled driving, making them ideal for high-volume woodworking and construction projects where efficiency and reliability are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This product adheres to standard inch system measurements with a No. 6 screw size, 1-1/2" length, and 0.138" thread diameter. The threading features 13 threads per inch and is partially threaded with a right-hand direction. The head has a standard flat head profile with a diameter of 0.279" and a tolerance of -0.035". Manufactured from zinc-plated steel, these screws are designed for use with a 1/16" drill bit and are compliant with industry standards for dimensional accuracy. They meet relevant specifications for general-purpose wood screws and are suitable for applications requiring reliable mechanical fastening in wood-based composite materials.
