Hexalobular Pan Head Self-Drilling Screw with Tapping Thread – A2 Stainless Steel

Description

Pan head Torx self-drilling screw manufactured in A2 stainless steel (~200 HV hardness). Suitable for drilling and threading in softer materials such as aluminium, plasterboard, and plastics. Not suitable for hardened steels or alloys with hardness equal to or greater than the screw material.

Made from A2 (304) stainless steel, these screws provide corrosion resistance and reliable fastening in sheet materials and light sections. The self-drilling point eliminates the need for pre-drilling, while the tapping screw thread cuts into the substrate to ensure a strong, vibration-resistant hold.

The pan head offers a wide bearing surface and neat finish, while the hexalobular (Similar to Torx) drive delivers excellent torque transfer with reduced risk of cam-out, making installation faster and more secure than with conventional Phillips drives.

Key Features:

Material: A2 (304) stainless steel corrosion resistant

Head: Pan head for broad clamping surface

Drive: Hexalobular (Similar to Torx) socket (TX size varies with diameter)

Function: Self-drilling tip with self-tapping thread

Applications: Fixing thin sheet metal, aluminium profiles, brackets, and general construction tasks

Suitable for indoor and outdoor environments

Not recommended for drilling hardened steels (>200 HV)

These pan head drilling screws combine quick installation, secure drive engagement, and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for engineering, fabrication, HVAC, and general assembly in softer materials.
