S-90000A712 Length 2 1/2" Wood Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for humid or outdoor wood and composite applications
• Enhanced driving torque and reduced cam-out thanks to the square drive design, ensuring secure installation and minimizing tool slippage
• Efficient thread cutting action creates precise mating threads in wood and plastic-wood composites, eliminating pre-drilling in many cases
• Reliable fastening in dense materials with a pointed tip and Type 17 tapping screw design for easier starts and reduced splitting
• Optimized load distribution from the standard flat head profile, providing a flush finish when countersunk
• Durable, long-lasting connections with a substantial 2 1/2" length and 1 3/4" minimum thread engagement for strong holding power
• Compliance with environmental and safety standards including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safe and sustainable use

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 14 wood screws are precision-engineered to address common fastening challenges in wood and plastic-wood composite materials. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides exceptional resistance to rust and corrosion, making these flat head screws suitable for demanding environments, including outdoor decking, marine applications, and high-moisture areas. The thread cutting technology and Type 17 design allow the screw to tap its own thread as it's driven, significantly reducing material splitting and installation time. This is particularly valuable in dense hardwoods or composites where traditional screws might fail. The square drive offers superior torque transmission compared to Phillips, minimizing driver slippage and head stripping for more efficient assembly lines and field installations. Combined with a partially threaded shank, these screws provide excellent pull-out resistance and clamping force for structural integrity in furniture, framing, and composite lumber projects.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 14 screw features a thread diameter of 0.242" with approximately 10 threads per inch and a right-hand thread direction. It is partially threaded with a minimum thread length of 1 3/4" and an overall length of 2 1/2". The drive system is a square drive, size No. 3, and the recommended drill bit size for pilot holes is 7/64" (0.109" diameter). Manufacturing and material compliance adhere to RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, confirming the absence of restricted hazardous substances.
