S-97196A120 Length 2 1/2" Wood Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Enhanced corrosion resistance through zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-term durability in various environmental conditions
• Superior holding power in fiberboard and particleboard thanks to thread forming technology that creates strong, permanent threads without pre-tapping
• Professional flush installation with standard flat head profile and 82° countersink angle for clean, finished appearances
• Optimized drive engagement with Phillips No. 2 drive style preventing cam-out and ensuring efficient installation
• Reduced material splitting through pointed tip design and partial threading for controlled penetration in wood composites
• Right-hand threading compatibility with standard power tools for quick, familiar installation processes
• Precise length selection at 2-1/2" for optimal fastening depth in medium to heavy-duty wood applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These zinc-plated steel wood screws are specifically engineered to address common challenges in fiberboard and particleboard applications where material integrity and holding power are critical. The thread forming technology eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes while creating stronger thread engagement that resists pull-out forces common in wood composite materials. The 82° countersink angle and flat head design ensure seamless flush mounting without surface protrusions, while the partial threading configuration provides enhanced grip without compromising material strength. Ideal for furniture manufacturing, cabinet installation, and construction projects requiring reliable fastening in engineered wood products.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 8 wood screw features precise dimensional tolerances with 0.164" thread diameter and 11 TPI thread pitch following industry standards for wood fasteners. The zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion protection while maintaining compliance with RoHS and REACH environmental standards. Manufacturing follows established thread forming specifications with right-hand threading compatibility and standard flat head profile meeting common woodworking requirements. Recommended drill bit size: 5/64" (0.078") for optimal performance in specified materials.
