Itw Buildex 560024 Self Drilling Screw No. 10 100 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560024 is a No. 10 self drilling screw designed for metal-to-metal and metal-to-substrate fastening applications common in HVAC, light steel framing, and sheet metal work. It features a hex washer head with a hex drive and a No. 3 drill point, allowing it to drill, tap, and fasten in a single pass without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The thread size is No. 10-16, meaning 16 threads per inch. Length under head measures 1-1/2 inches. Each package contains 100 screws. These screws are installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general contractors working with light-gauge steel assemblies.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial applications involving light-gauge steel framing, ductwork fabrication, and equipment enclosure assembly. The No. 3 drill point is rated for thicker steel stock than a No. 2 point, making it appropriate where higher penetration capacity is needed. The hex washer head provides a bearing surface that resists pull-through and accepts a standard hex driver bit or nut driver, common in sheet metal and HVAC installation workflows.

Key Features

• No. 3 drill point drills, taps, and fastens in a single operation with no pilot hole required
• Hex washer head provides a wide bearing surface to resist pull-through
• No. 10-16 thread size with 16 threads per inch for secure engagement in steel
• 1-1/2 inch length under head suits a range of light-gauge steel fastening tasks
• Steel construction for strength and durability in metal assembly applications
• 100 screws per package to support production and service workloads

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style self drilling fastener for light-gauge steel applications including ductwork, equipment enclosures, and metal framing assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, or structural contractors working with light-gauge steel. Use a hex driver bit or nut driver matched to the hex head size and set your drill or driver to an appropriate torque clutch setting to avoid stripping the head or overdriving the fastener. Power down any electrical equipment in the work area before fastening near live panels or duct-mounted components. Do not reuse screws that have been removed from a previously drilled location, as the thread engagement will be compromised.
