Itw Buildex 560010 Self Drilling Screw No.10 Hex Washer

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560010 is a No. 10 self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in steel and metal framing applications. Featuring a hex washer head with a hex drive, this screw measures 3/4 inch in length under the head and is threaded at 10-16 thread pitch. The No. 1 drill point eliminates the need for a pilot hole, allowing the screw to drill, tap, and fasten in a single pass. Sold in a pack of 100, these steel screws are a standard choice for HVAC duct fabrication, metal framing, electrical enclosure assembly, and general sheet metal work.

These self drilling screws are suited for light-gauge sheet metal and thin steel assemblies common in residential and commercial construction and mechanical systems. Trade professionals including HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians reach for this screw type when securing duct flanges, equipment panels, junction boxes, and light structural metal connections. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface and the hex drive allows use with a standard nut driver or hex bit, reducing cam-out and improving torque transfer on the fastening tool.

Key Features

• No. 1 drill point drills and taps in one step — no pilot hole required
• Hex washer head delivers a wide bearing surface for secure clamping on sheet metal
• Hex drive compatible with standard 5/16 inch nut drivers and hex bits
• 10-16 thread pitch provides firm thread engagement in light-gauge steel
• Steel construction for strength in metal-to-metal fastening
• Sold in a pack of 100 for job-site or shop use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use self drilling screw for light-gauge sheet metal applications in HVAC, electrical, and metal framing assemblies.

Installation Notes

Self drilling screws of this type are installed by licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a hex-drive bit or nut driver with a variable-speed drill or screw gun. Set clutch depth to avoid overdriving and stripping the material. Do not use in applications exceeding the rated material thickness for the No. 1 drill point, as doing so can result in incomplete thread formation or drill point failure. Follow applicable mechanical and building codes for fastener spacing and load-bearing connections.
