S-97196A116 Length 1 1/2" Wood Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for long-lasting performance in various environments
• Excellent pull-out resistance in fiberboard and particleboard thanks to thread-forming design that creates strong, permanent threads
• Clean, flush installation with standard flat head profile and 82° countersink angle for professional, finished appearance
• Easy installation and removal with No. 2 Phillips drive that provides secure tool engagement and reduces cam-out
• Optimized thread engagement with partial threading that concentrates holding power where it's needed most
• Precise installation guidance with recommended 5/64" drill bit size for proper pilot hole preparation
• Reliable right-hand threading following industry standards for consistent, predictable fastening performance

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

Engineered specifically for fiberboard and particleboard applications, these zinc-plated steel wood screws solve common fastening challenges in woodworking and construction. The thread-forming tapping method creates durable, permanent threads in composite wood materials without pre-tapping, eliminating strip-out issues that plague standard screws. The flat head design with 82° countersink ensures flush mounting for safety and aesthetics, while the Phillips drive system provides reliable torque transfer during installation. The partial threading concentrates holding power in the engagement zone, preventing material splitting while maintaining superior pull-out resistance. These features make them ideal for furniture assembly, cabinetry, and construction projects where reliable fastening in engineered wood materials is critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 8 size screw features precise dimensional tolerances with 1-1/2" length, 0.164" thread diameter, and approximately 11 threads per inch. The manufacturing follows standard inch system measurements with right-hand threading convention. The zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion protection while maintaining compliance with industry standards for wood screw applications. The pointed tip and specific drill bit size recommendation (5/64") ensure proper installation in fiberboard and particleboard substrates.
