Itw Buildex 560012 Self Drilling Screw No.10 100 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560012 is a No. 10 self-drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in steel-to-steel and steel-to-substrate applications. Featuring a hex washer head with a hex drive, the screw eliminates the need for a pilot hole by combining drilling and fastening in a single step. The No. 3 drill point is sized for penetrating light-gauge steel framing and related materials. Each screw measures 0.75 inches in length under the head with a thread pitch of 16 threads per inch. Sold in packs of 100, this fastener is a standard choice for HVAC ductwork fabrication, light steel framing, and sheet metal assembly.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial applications where light-gauge steel connections are required without pre-drilling. Common installation scenarios include HVAC duct connections, metal stud framing, electrical enclosure assembly, and general sheet metal work. The hex washer head provides a wide bearing surface that resists pull-through, and the hex drive format is compatible with standard nut drivers and impact drivers commonly used on job sites. The 100-piece pack quantity supports production-level workflows and service truck stocking.

Key Features

• No. 3 drill point enables self-drilling into light-gauge steel without a pilot hole

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 self-drilling screw for use in light-gauge steel framing, HVAC ductwork, and sheet metal fabrication where a No. 3 drill point and hex washer head configuration are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, or general contractors using a hex nut driver or impact driver. Ensure the substrate material is within the rated drilling capacity of a No. 3 drill point before driving. Do not overdrive the fastener, as stripping the threads or deforming the washer head will reduce holding strength. Follow applicable local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and load requirements.
