Hillman Fasteners 47180 Pan Head Phillips Screw 6x7/16

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 47180 is a No. 6 x 7/16-inch pan head Phillips drive self-piercing screw finished in black phosphate. It is designed for framing and sheet metal applications where pre-punching or pilot holes are not required. The self-piercing tip drives directly through light-gauge material, reducing prep time on the job. Black phosphate coating provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces glare in finished installations. This fastener is sold in a box quantity of 12 and is suited for use by carpenters, framers, and general contractors working with metal framing components.

This screw is commonly used in light commercial and residential metal framing assemblies. The pan head profile sits flush to slightly raised against the work surface, distributing clamping load over a wider area than a bugle or flat head. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits used in cordless drills and screw guns. Its self-piercing point makes it appropriate for pre-punched track, pre-fabricated metal framing panels, or other situations where a pilot hole would slow production.
