Itw Buildex 560027 Self Drilling Screw No.10 100 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560027 is a No. 10 self-drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in steel and light structural applications. It features a hex washer head with a hex drive, a No. 3 drill point that eliminates the need for a pilot hole, and a 3/4-inch length under head. With a 10-24 thread pitch, this screw cuts its own mating thread on entry, reducing installation steps and labor time. Each package contains 100 screws. Licensed HVAC sheet-metal technicians, plumbers, and general contractors commonly reach for this fastener when securing metal components in mechanical systems, panels, and enclosures.

This screw is suited for light-gauge steel fastening in residential and commercial mechanical applications. Typical uses include securing HVAC ductwork, metal framing, electrical enclosures, and equipment panels where a pre-drilled hole is impractical or slows workflow. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface that distributes clamping load and resists pull-through. The hex drive allows use with a standard nut driver or hex-bit socket, making it compatible with common cordless drivers used in the trade.

Key Features

• No. 3 drill point self-drills through light-gauge steel without a pilot hole
• Hex washer head delivers wide bearing surface and pull-through resistance
• Hex drive accepts standard nut drivers and hex-bit sockets
• 10-24 thread pitch for secure thread engagement in steel substrates
• Steel construction for durability in mechanical and structural applications
• 100-count package minimizes reorder frequency on active job sites

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for light-gauge steel applications in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical installation work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex nut driver or hex-bit socket on a cordless drill or impact driver set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid stripping. Ensure the workpiece is secured before driving to prevent movement. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and edge distance in structural or load-bearing assemblies.
