    Stainless Steel Oversized Phillips Rounded Head Screws for Sheet Metal

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Tapping Screws. Stainless Steel Oversized Phillips Rounded Head Screws for Sheet Metal.
    The wide head on these corrosion-resistant screws distributes pressure to prevent crushing and dimpling sheet metal. Their pointed tip starts a hole in sheets up to 0.025" thick, but for thicker material you’ll need to drill first. The Phillips drive handles enough torque to keep drivers from slipping.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments. However, these screws won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these screws withstand harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.

    Steel Phillips Rounded Head Screws with Washer for Sheet Metal

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Tapping Screws. Steel Phillips Rounded Head Screws with Washer for Sheet Metal.
    Prevent sheet metal from bending and create a smooth, finished look. These screws have an attached, free-spinning washer that distributes pressure and covers a wider area than a flange. Their pointed tip starts a hole in sheets up to 0.025" thick, but for thicker material you’ll need to drill first. The Phillips drive handles enough torque to keep drivers from slipping.
    Length is measured from the edge of the head.
    Black-Oxide Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these screws have a dark, matte coating for a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.
    Black Phosphate-Coated Steel—More corrosion resistant than black-oxide steel, these screws are suitable for environments with some moisture. They have a dark, matte coating for a finished look.
    Chrome-Plated Steel—The brightest finish we offer has a mirror-like appearance that is often used in decorative applications. These screws won't rust in wet and outdoor environments.

    Secure metal sheets, mesh, and other thin materials to metal framing studs without tearing. Also known as lath screws, the head is wider than other rounded styles to keep material flat against the framing. These screws drill and fasten in one step. Their Phillips drive withstands less torque than a hex drive, so drill with even, steady pressure.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.

    Attach fabric, tarps, plastic, and other delicate material to metal surfaces. These screws have a built-in, free-spinning washer that prevents your material from bunching around the screw as you drill. They save time by drilling and fastening in a single step.
    Length is measured from the edge of the head.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Black-Zinc-Plated Steel—The dark finish withstands occasional exposure to moisture while creating a finished look.
    Chrome-Plated Steel—The brightest finish we offer has a mirror-like appearance that is often used in decorative applications. These screws won't rust in wet and outdoor environments.

    Tri-Lobe Shank Cross

    Section

    The wide head on these corrosion-resistant screws distributes pressure to prevent crushing and dimpling plastic. Thread them directly into molded or cast holes—no inserts needed. Screws won’t crack or distort material when fastening enclosures, panels, and other plastic components. The Phillips drive handles enough torque to keep drivers from slipping and the rounded head creates a finished look.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments. However, these screws won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Tri-Lobe—The tri-lobular shank forms threads in thermoplastics such as polypropylene and ABS. These screws displace material to create a tight fit that resists vibration and prevents backing out. Because the shank isn't round, the diameter will vary slightly depending on where you measure it. They're comparable to Plastite screws.
