Countersunk Head Self-Tapping Screws
Product Overview
The SS316 Phillips US standard countersunk self-tapping screw is a general-purpose fastener designed to American specifications, made from 316 (A4 grade) austenitic stainless steel as the core material. With a standard diameter of 8GA (approximately 4.17mm) and available in lengths ranging from 3/8" to 1-3/4" (approximately 9.5mm to 44.5mm), it features an 82° US countersunk head and Phillips drive recess, combining ease of installation with excellent corrosion resistance. It is widely used for fastening various panels and profiles, making it the preferred fastening solution for highly corrosive environments and outdoor applications.
Product Applications
Outdoor & Marine Engineering: Coastal construction, ship decks, dock facilities, solar panel mounting brackets, and similar scenarios – providing exceptional salt-spray resistance and weatherability for long-term corrosion-free performance.
Industrial Equipment Assembly: Fastening of HVAC ductwork, machinery housings, sheet metal parts, and stainless steel panels – the countersunk design maintains surface flatness, meeting the assembly and coating requirements of industrial manufacturing.
Food & Medical Fields: Fixing components in food processing equipment and medical devices – 316 stainless steel is non-toxic with no leachable substances, meeting hygienic application standards.
General Construction & Furniture: Installation of outdoor furniture, preserved wood walkways, and metal profile framing – combining corrosion resistance with installation convenience, delivering both durability and aesthetic appeal.
Product Features
A4 Grade 316 Stainless Steel Material: Molybdenum-containing austenitic stainless steel offering exceptional resistance to chlorides, acids, alkalis, and salt spray. Suitable for long-term use in coastal, humid, and chemical environments, with superior resistance to rusting and fracture, and a service life far exceeding that of ordinary carbon steel or lower-grade stainless steel screws.
US Countersunk Head + Phillips Recess Design: The standard 82° countersunk taper angle allows the head to sit completely flush with the workpiece surface after installation, achieving a smooth, protrusion-free finish. The Phillips recess is compatible with standard tools, providing stable torque transmission and reduced slippage for efficient, convenient installation.
Self-Tapping Thread Structure: Features a cutting point with coarse threads, allowing direct drilling and tapping into wood, plastic, and thin metal sheets without the need for pre-tapped holes. Provides fast engagement and strong holding power, effectively preventing loosening.
Comprehensive Size Range for Broad Compatibility: Based on the standard 8GA diameter, available in multiple length options to suit various workpiece thicknesses, accommodating both thin panels and thick profiles.
