#6 Phillips Flat Head Self Tapping Sheet Metal Screws Stainless Steel Flat head has a flat top and a taper. Flat heads are designed to be used in a countersunk hole. Sheet metal screws have sharp threads that cut into a material such as sheet metal, plastic or wood. They also make excellent fasteners for attaching metal hardware to wood because the fully threaded shank provides good retention in wood. SHEET METAL SCREWS HAVE SHARP THREADS THAT CUT INTO MATERIALS SUCH AS: Plastic Plexi glass Wood And of course sheet metal Sheet metal screws are also the go to fasteners for use with plastic wall anchors in drywall. Tapping screws are considered externally threaded fasteners that “tap” their own mating threads in metallic and non-metallic (such as plastic) materials. Tapping screws, especially Type A, are referred to as “sheet metal screws” because one of their first applications was in ventilation ducts made of sheet metal. They also make excellent fasteners for attaching metal hardware to wood because the fully threaded shank provides good retention in wood. Phillips drive is x-shaped for installation with a phillip screw driver. The design is often criticized for its tendency to cam out at lower torque levels than other “cross head” designs. There has long been a popular belief that this was actually a deliberate feature of the design, for the purpose of assembling aluminum aircraft without over tightening the fasteners. About Self tapping Screws A self-tapping screw is a screw that can tap its own hole as it is driven into the material. Some self-tapping screws are also self-drilling, which means that, in addition to the tap-like flute in the leading threads, there is also a preliminary drill-like fluted tip that looks much like the tip of a center drill. The screws in this auction are not “Self Drilling” and do require a pilot hole for a thick gauge material General Product Information Flat Head Screws Length is Measured from the top of the Head to the Tip Head Style : Flat Countersunk Drive Style : Phillips Drive Size : #2 Screw Size : #6 Material : Stainless Steel Grade 18-8 Overall Length : Select Desired Length From Drop Down Menu Quantity of Fasteners in Package : Select Desired Item Package Quantity From Drop Down Menu Detailed Product Information: Head Diameter : 0.262″ Head Height : 0.083″ Countersink Angle : 82 Degree Thread Diameter : 0.138″ Thread Coverage : Fully Threaded Point Style : Type A Self Tapping Key Notes: Flat head stainless screws made of a highly corrosion resistant grade 18-8 stainless steel with a flat top that tapers down to a cone shape at an 82 degree and will sit flush into a countersunk hole giving a finished appearance; 82 degree is the most common countersink screw head angle for machine screws with a flat head Phillips flat head sheet metal screws with a self tapping thread pattern that forms its own threads in the material it is being screwed into and is mainly used for attaching two pieces of metal together but also works great in wood and Plexiglass because of the coarse thread These flat head screws will have no problem punching through a thin or light gauge sheet metal but will require a pilot hole for a thicker gauge metal Made from stainless steel grade 18-8 which offers a high level of chemical and corrosion resistance that will out perform and out last all zinc plated fasteners for years with out the need to perform costly and time consuming maintenance; 18-8 stainless steel flat head sheet metal screws are a better choice than 410 self drilling screws in out door applications that will be visible because unlike 410 stainless with a high iron content these screws have a low iron content and will not rust or turn red Fastenere brand stainless steel sheet metal screws offer the corrosion resistance and strength that makes them the best choice for an application that is exposed to a wet or damp environment and will withstand the test of time Shipping: All orders placed before 3:30 pm EST Will Ship Same Day Tracking is provided on ALL Orders Priority Mail Shipping service is offered at a discount of only $3.95 UPS Ground UPS Next Day Air is available, Please inquire for pricing Returns : ALL returns are accepted if returned within 60 days.
