Technical Features
- Self-Drilling Tip: The drill-point tip drives directly into metal materials without requiring a pre-drilled pilot hole, reducing installation steps and labor time on the job site.
- Fully Threaded Shaft: Threads run the entire 3-inch length of the screw, maximizing thread engagement throughout the material for improved hold strength.
- #8 Screw Diameter: The #8 sizing designates a specific width and thread count per inch, providing consistent, predictable fastening performance in industrial metal applications.
- Truss Head Design: The low-profile, wide-diameter truss head distributes clamping load over a broader surface area, making it suitable for specific materials and assembly configurations.
- Phillips Drive: Compatible with standard Phillips-head drivers and bits, allowing use with widely available hand tools and power drivers for straightforward installation and removal.
- Zinc-Plated Finish: The zinc plating provides a corrosion-resistant surface layer, contributing to durability in environments where the fastener may be exposed to moisture or oxidizing conditions.
- 50-Piece Pack (54841): Packaged in a quantity of 50, supporting both small-scale repairs and larger production or construction fastening tasks.
Applications
- Metal fabrication and light structural steel assembly where pilot-hole elimination accelerates production throughput.
- Commercial and industrial construction fastening into metal substrates such as sheet metal, metal framing, and metal panels.
- General assembly operations requiring a fully threaded, self-drilling fastener with a broad-bearing truss head profile.
- Maintenance and repair tasks on metal structures where standard Phillips-drive tooling is available on site.
