Itw Buildex 560022 Self Drilling Screw No.10 Hex Washer

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560022 is a No. 10 self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in light-gauge steel and metal framing applications. It features a hex washer head driven by a hex drive bit and a No. 3 drill point that eliminates the need for pre-drilling. The 1-1/4 inch length is measured under the head. With a thread pitch of 16 threads per inch and a steel construction, this screw delivers solid holding strength in metal-to-metal and metal-to-structural connections. It is sold in a package of 100. This fastener is installed by HVAC sheet metal mechanics, electricians, plumbers, and general trade contractors working with light-gauge steel assemblies.

This screw is suited for attaching sheet metal ductwork components, electrical enclosures, metal studs, and light structural framing. The No. 3 drill point handles moderate-gauge steel without a pilot hole, making it a practical choice for production work where speed and consistency matter. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface and a secure drive engagement to reduce cam-out during installation. This screw is appropriate for indoor and outdoor metal fastening tasks where a self-contained drilling and threading action is required.

Installation Notes

Install with a hex drive bit and a variable-speed drill or screw gun set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid over-driving. Power down any energized equipment before fastening into or near electrical enclosures. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection when driving self drilling screws into metal. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and edge distance in structural applications.
