Product Description

What Makes Self Tapping Screws Different

They make their own hole as you drive them in. No need to tap threads first. Just drill a pilot hole and go. This saves time on any assembly line.

Self Tapping Screws Overview

Head Styles at a Glance

  • Flat Head – 82 degree countersunk. Sits flush with surface. Good for finished panels where you don't want screws sticking out.
  • Wafer Head – Low and wide. Clamps hard but doesn't stand tall. Popular for pocket holes and thin sheet metal.
  • Pan Head – Domed top, flat bottom. The everyday standard for most jobs.
  • Hex Head – Six sides. Use a wrench or socket. Good when you need extra torque.
  • Truss Head – Wide and low. Spreads pressure over a larger area without adding height.
  • Button Head – Low rounded dome. Looks clean. Works well where you want a lower head height.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the advantage of using self tapping screws?

Self tapping screws create their own matching mating threads as they are driven in, eliminating the need for tapping threads beforehand and drastically saving assembly line production time.

Q: When should I choose fine threads over coarse threads?

Fine threads feature more threads per inch, making them ideal for thin sheet metals and hard plastics to resist pull-out. Coarse threads engage faster and are suitable for softer plastics and wood materials.

Q: Which stainless steel material should I choose for wet or marine environments?

For standard outdoor or damp environments, 304 Stainless Steel provides excellent rust prevention. For harsh saltwater and marine applications, 316 Stainless Steel is recommended for maximum corrosion resistance.

Q: What standard sizes and property grades are supported?

We supply standard metric diameters from M2 to M6 with lengths from 6mm to 50mm, along with inch dimensions. Available property classes range from Grade 4.8 general use up to Grade 12.9 high tensile strength.

Q: Can I request custom head markings or non-standard fasteners?

Yes. Custom dimensions, unique head styles, and custom head stampings are available. Send your drawings or technical samples to receive an OEM quote within 24 hours.
