Itw Buildex 560008 Self Drilling Screw No.10 Hex Washer

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560008 is a No. 10 self drilling screw with a hex washer head and hex drive, designed for fast, reliable fastening without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The 3-point drill tip bores through material and taps threads in a single pass, reducing labor time on the job. At 5/8 inch length under head, this screw is suited for light-gauge steel-to-steel and steel-to-substrate applications common in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication. Sold in a 100-count package, it is sized for a standard hex driver bit. Licensed trades and sheet metal workers keep this fastener on hand for everyday production and service work.

This screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where speed and consistent thread engagement in steel are required. Typical uses include securing HVAC duct sections, metal framing, electrical boxes, and sheet metal panels. The No. 10-16 thread pitch provides strong thread engagement in thin-gauge steel. The hex washer head delivers a wide bearing surface that resists pull-through, and the hex drive allows for quick installation with a standard nut driver or hex bit on a power drill or impact driver.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 self drilling screw for light-gauge steel fastening applications in HVAC, sheet metal, and general construction trades.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a hex bit or nut driver at controlled speed to prevent overdriving and stripping the threads. Apply steady, consistent pressure when driving to allow the drill point to engage cleanly before threading begins. Do not overdrive, as the hex washer head can deform and lose clamping load. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and edge distance in structural or fire-rated assemblies.
