Hex Head Self-Drilling Screws
Product Overview
This product is a hexagon flange head self-drilling and self-tapping screw, manufactured from a carbon steel substrate and surface-treated with a color zinc passivation anti-corrosion coating. The screw integrates four major structures: a hexagon drive head, an integral flange sealing washer, self-tapping threads, and a drill-point cutting tip. Without the need for pre-drilling, it can complete drilling, tapping, and locking in a single operation. It is a dedicated heavy-duty fastener for light-gauge steel buildings and metal steel structures, suitable for connecting various metal components such as medium-to-thick steel plates and multi-layer color steel sandwich panels, combining installation convenience with sealing and waterproof performance.
Product Applications
Light-gauge steel engineering: Fixing of color steel tiles, sandwich panels, and C-shaped steel purlins in steel structure workshops, warehouses, and canopies;
Outdoor facilities: Assembly of greenhouse steel frames, billboards, metal guardrails, and sunshade structures;
Mechanical and electrical installation: Fastening of ventilation ducts, distribution boxes, and equipment metal brackets;
Decoration and enclosures: Splice joints for metal partitions, prefabricated iron sheet enclosures, and small steel frame structures.
Product Features
Hexagon flange with integrated sealing: Compatible with socket wrenches, providing high torque without slipping; the integrated washer presses firmly against the panel, offering waterproof and leak-proof performance.
Coarse thread with heavy load capacity: 12-14 large-specification threads provide secure engagement, strong pull-out resistance, and vibration resistance; multiple lengths from 20-50mm accommodate various panel thicknesses, including single-layer and insulated color steel sandwich panels.
Quenched drill point for efficient installation: The hardened and sharpened drill tip directly penetrates steel sheets, eliminating the hole-punching process and greatly improving installation efficiency.
Color zinc coating with high cost-effectiveness: The coating provides anti-corrosion and rust protection, suitable for conventional outdoor and humid factory environments; lower cost than stainless steel, with high specification visibility.
Balanced material toughness: The drill tip has high hardness to resist chipping, while the shank offers good toughness, ensuring long-term fastening without thread breakage or stripping.
