Hex Head Self Drilling Screw features a hexagonal head for easy driving with standard tools, and its self-drilling tip eliminates the need for pre-drilling holes. This type of screw is particularly useful in applications where quick assembly is required, as it combines drilling, tapping, and fastening in one operation. The sharp, hardened drill point can easily penetrate various materials such as metal, wood, or plastic, making these screws versatile for a wide range of construction and DIY projects. Additionally, their design often includes a corrosion-resistant coating to ensure long-lasting performance even in harsh environments.
Hex Head Self Drilling Screws are widely used in various applications, including:
Construction and Building: For attaching metal roofing, siding, and other cladding materials to wood or metal frames.
HVAC Systems: Securing ductwork, sheet metal, and other components.
Metal Fabrication: Joining metal sheets and components in manufacturing and assembly processes.
Automotive and Transportation: Attaching trim, panels, and other components in vehicles.
Furniture and Cabinetry: Assembling metal and wood components in furniture and cabinetry.
Signage and Displays: Mounting signs and display boards to various surfaces.
DIY Projects: General use in home improvement and DIY projects where quick and secure fastening is needed.
These screws provide a convenient and efficient solution for many industries and applications, offering both time savings and reliability.
Materials and Processing|
Steel, stainless steel, and zinc or phosphate coatings that improve corrosion resistance are common materials.
Common surface treatments such as Dacromet, phosphating, blackening, soap phosphating, and galvanizing.
Hex Head Self Drilling Screws come in a variety of common specifications to suit different applications. These specifications typically include:
Diameter (Thread Size): Common diameters range from #6 to #14, with metric sizes also available (e.g., M3 to M8).
Length: Lengths can vary widely, from as short as 1/2 inch to several inches, depending on the application.
Material: Typically made from hardened steel, but can also be available in stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials.
Coating: Often coated with zinc, galvanized, or other protective finishes to resist corrosion.
Drill Point: The drill point is designed to match the material being fastened. Common types include:
#1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 Points: These numbers indicate the length and diameter of the drill point, with higher numbers suitable for thicker materials.
Head Type: Hexagonal head (hex head) is the most common, but other head types like pan head or button head may also be available.
Drive Type: Most commonly, these screws use a hex drive, but Phillips or other drive types may also be available.
Thread Type: Usually coarse or fine threads, with self-tapping threads that cut into the material as they are driven.
