Acorn TS102J Combo Tapping Screw 10x2 Jar Pack

Product Description

The ACORN TS102J is a combo-drive tapping screw in a #10 diameter by 2-inch length, packaged in a jar for jobsite convenience. Tapping screws are self-threading fasteners that cut their own mating threads as they are driven into sheet metal, light-gauge steel, or similar substrates, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole. The combo drive head accepts both slotted and Phillips drivers, giving installers flexibility when working with different tool sets. This fastener is a standard workhorse used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general sheet-metal mechanics across residential and light commercial applications.

Combo tapping screws in the #10 x 2-inch size are commonly used in HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure mounting, equipment panel fastening, and general sheet-metal fabrication. The jar pack format is suited to bench stock, service van inventory, or any install scenario where loose fasteners need to stay organized and accessible. This size is particularly prevalent in attaching sheet-metal flanges, securing equipment covers, and connecting duct collars.

Key Features

• Combo drive accepts both Phillips and slotted screwdrivers or bits
• #10 x 2-inch dimensions suit standard sheet-metal and light-gauge steel applications
• Self-tapping design cuts threads on installation — no pre-tapping required
• Jar pack format keeps fasteners organized and accessible on the job
• Suitable for HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose tapping screw for use in sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar substrates common to HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trade applications.

Installation Notes

Tapping screws are typically driven with a Phillips or slotted bit using a power driver or manual screwdriver. Ensure the substrate material and gauge are appropriate for a #10 self-tapping fastener before driving. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the self-cut threads in thin-gauge material. Always follow applicable installation codes and manufacturer guidelines for the equipment or assembly being fastened.
