Wafer Head Self-Drilling Screws
Product Overview
Cross recess wafer head self-drilling screw (model 10-16x16-55 Z/Y) is a self-drilling and self-tapping fastener specifically designed for thin metal sheet connection scenarios.
This product adopts USA standard #10 thread specification (diameter approx. 4.8mm, with 16 threads per inch fine-thread design), offering multiple length options from 16mm to 55mm, with a yellow zinc/color zinc (Z/Y) anti-rust surface treatment, balancing durability and cost-effectiveness. It integrates drilling, tapping, and fastening functions into one unit, enabling direct penetration and fixing of metal sheets without pre-drilling, making it a highly efficient and convenient general-purpose fastener for steel structures, light-gauge steel projects, and sheet metal installation.
Product Applications
Steel structure projects: Fixing of color steel tiles and profiled steel wall panels in workshops, as well as construction and connection of light-gauge steel structures.
Light steel and decoration industries: Connection of metal components in light steel keel partition walls and suspended ceiling systems, as well as fixing of aluminum alloy door/window frames and curtain wall panels.
Mechanical, electrical, and sheet metal installation: Assembly of air conditioning ducts, electrical cable trays, and equipment sheet metal parts, as well as installation of outdoor light structures such as simple canopies and photovoltaic brackets.
General manufacturing fields: Rapid fastening between various thin metal sheets and hardware components, replacing traditional self-tapping screws and improving assembly efficiency.
Product Features
Efficient self-drilling: Equipped with a quenched cutting edge at the tail, capable of directly penetrating steel plates up to 6mm thick without pre-drilling, greatly improving construction efficiency.
Wafer head anti-collapse design: Large-diameter wafer head design evenly disperses pressure, preventing compression deformation of thin sheets and ensuring more stable connections.
Fine thread anti-loosening: 16-thread fine-pitch threads provide tight engagement, offering vibration resistance and reduced loosening, suitable for long-term fixing requirements.
Rust-resistant and durable: Yellow zinc coating provides good rust resistance, suitable for indoor and general outdoor environments.
Easy installation: Standard cross recess compatible with general-purpose power tools, providing stable torque and reduced bit stripping, with a low operational skill requirement.
