Itw Buildex 560023 Self Drilling Screw No. 10 100 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560023 is a No. 10 self drilling screw engineered for fast, reliable fastening in steel and metal assemblies. With a 3-point drill tip, this screw bores its own pilot hole and threads in a single operation, eliminating the need for pre-drilling. The oval head profile provides a low-profile finished appearance, while the hex drive delivers high torque transfer and reduced cam-out during installation. Overall length is 1-1/4 inches with a thread pitch of 16 threads per inch. Each package contains 100 screws. This screw is used by HVAC installers, electricians, and general contractors for light-gauge metal framing, ductwork, and sheet metal applications.

The 560023 is suited for residential and light commercial construction and service work. Common applications include attachment of sheet metal panels, light-gauge steel framing members, electrical enclosures, and HVAC ductwork. The 3-point drill point performs consistently in thin-gauge steel without pre-drilling, making it a standard choice for sheet metal trades and mechanical contractors working in confined or production-paced environments.

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified tradespeople using a hex-bit driver or drill driver set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid overdriving the oval head. Ensure the substrate material gauge is within the rated capacity of a 3-point drill point screw before driving. Do not use impact drivers at maximum torque settings, as this can strip the drive or damage the head. Follow applicable building and mechanical codes for fastener spacing and load requirements.
