S-97196A121 Length 3" Wood Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for long-lasting performance in demanding woodworking environments
• Enhanced holding power through thread forming design that creates strong, permanent threads in fiberboard and particleboard
• Clean, flush installation with 82° countersink angle and flat head design that sits perfectly flush with material surfaces
• Optimized thread engagement with 2.01" thread length and 11 threads per inch for maximum grip in wood composite materials
• Efficient installation using standard No. 2 Phillips drive that prevents cam-out and ensures secure fastening
• Reduced splitting risk with partially threaded design that minimizes stress on wood fibers during installation
• Precision compatibility with 5/64" pre-drill holes for accurate positioning and optimal fastening performance

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 8 wood screws are engineered specifically for fiberboard and particleboard applications where traditional fasteners often fail. The zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection while maintaining high tensile strength. The thread forming design eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes, creating durable internal threads that resist pull-out in low-density wood composites. The 82° countersink angle ensures heads sit flush without protruding, preventing surface damage and creating professional finishes. With right-hand threading and partial threading, these screws distribute stress evenly while minimizing material splitting - crucial for maintaining structural integrity in cabinetry, furniture manufacturing, and construction applications where particleboard and fiberboard are prevalent.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These wood screws feature precision inch system measurements with No. 8 screw size, 0.164" thread diameter, and 3" overall length. The thread forming tapping method and standard flat head profile ensure consistent performance. Manufacturing adheres to industry standards for dimensional accuracy, including head diameter tolerance of -0.04" and proper thread engagement specifications. The zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance while maintaining compliance with industrial fastening requirements for wood composite materials.
