Itw Buildex 560017 Self Drilling Screw No. 10 100 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560017 is a No. 10 self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening into steel and light metal framing without a pre-drilled pilot hole. It features a hex washer head driven by a standard hex bit and a No. 3 drill point that cuts its own hole as it seats. The 1-inch length under head suits thin-gauge applications common in HVAC ductwork, metal stud framing, and sheet metal assembly. Each package contains 100 screws. Thread size is No. 10-16, meaning 16 threads per inch.

This screw is well suited for light commercial and residential metal framing, HVAC duct and panel attachment, and general sheet metal work. The hex washer head provides a built-in bearing surface that distributes clamping load across the material, reducing pull-through in thin substrates. Contractors, HVAC installers, and metal framing crews will find this screw compatible with standard hex driver bits and impact drivers used on the job site.

Key Features

• No. 3 drill point self-taps through light-gauge steel without a pilot hole
• Hex washer head provides integrated bearing surface to reduce pull-through
• No. 10-16 thread size for secure engagement in thin metal
• 1-inch length under head suits thin-panel and duct applications
• Steel construction for strength in metal-to-metal fastening
• 100-piece package minimizes reordering frequency on active job sites

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use self drilling screw for light-gauge steel framing, HVAC sheet metal panels, and duct assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex driver bit using a drill or impact driver set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid stripping the head or overdriving the fastener. Confirm material thickness is within the rated capacity of a No. 3 drill point before use. Wear appropriate eye protection when driving self drilling screws into metal. Follow applicable local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and edge distance in structural or fire-rated assemblies.
