Stainless Steel Self-Tapping Screws
Product Overview
SS316 Phillips flat head self‑tapping screw (American Standard) is a general‑purpose fastener designed in accordance with US standards, with 316 (A4 grade) austenitic stainless steel as the core material. It features a standard diameter of 8GA (approx. 4.17 mm) and is available in multiple lengths from 3/8" to 1‑3/4" (approx. 9.5 mm to 44.5 mm), combined with an 82° American standard flat countersunk head and a Phillips drive recess. It offers both convenient installation and excellent corrosion resistance, widely suited for connecting and fixing various panels and profiles, making it a preferred fastening solution for highly corrosive environments and outdoor applications.
Product Applications
Outdoor and Marine Engineering: Coastal buildings, ship decks, dock facilities, photovoltaic supports, etc., with excellent salt spray and weather resistance, ensuring long‑term corrosion‑free performance.
Industrial Equipment Assembly: Connecting air conditioning ducts, machinery enclosures, sheet metal parts, and stainless steel panels; the flat head design preserves surface flatness, suitable for industrial manufacturing assembly and painting requirements.
Food and Medical Fields: Fixing components in food processing equipment and medical devices; 316 stainless steel is non‑toxic and non‑leaching, meeting hygienic standards.
General Construction and Furniture: Installation of outdoor furniture, preservative‑treated timber boardwalks, and metal profile frames, combining rust resistance with installation convenience, balancing durability and aesthetics.
Product Features
A4 Grade 316 Stainless Steel Material: Molybdenum‑containing austenitic stainless steel, offering outstanding resistance to chlorides, acids, alkalis, and salt spray. It can be used long‑term in harsh environments such as coastal areas, humid conditions, and chemical plants, resisting rust and fracture, with a service life far exceeding ordinary carbon steel or lower‑grade stainless steel screws.
American Standard Flat Head + Phillips Recess Design: Standard 82° countersunk taper allows the screw to sit completely flush with the workpiece surface after installation, achieving a smooth, snag‑free finish; the Phillips drive recess is compatible with common tools, providing stable torque transmission and reducing slippage for efficient installation.
Self‑Tapping Thread Structure: Integrated cutting point and coarse thread enable direct drilling and tapping into wood, plastics, and thin sheet metals without pre‑tapped holes, with fast engagement, strong grip, and effective resistance to loosening.
Comprehensive Size Range for Wide Adaptability: Based on the standard 8GA diameter, covering multiple length options, allowing flexible selection according to workpiece thickness, accommodating both thin panels and thick profiles.
