Itw Buildex 560034 Self Drilling Screw No. 12 100 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560034 is a No. 12 self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in steel and metal construction applications. Featuring a hex washer head and hex drive, this screw delivers solid torque transfer and a wide bearing surface that resists pull-through. The No. 2 drill point eliminates the need for a pilot hole, allowing the screw to cut its own thread as it drives. At 1-1/4 inches length under head with a 12-14 thread pitch, it is well suited for light-gauge metal-to-metal connections common in HVAC ductwork, metal framing, and electrical enclosure assembly. Each package contains 100 screws.

This screw is a practical choice for residential and commercial jobsites where speed and consistency matter. HVAC technicians use self drilling screws like this to fasten sheet metal duct sections, attach flanges, and secure equipment panels. Electricians and metal framers also rely on this fastener type for enclosure work and light structural connections. The hex washer head design is compatible with standard hex driver bits and magnetic nut drivers commonly found in trade tool kits.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use self drilling screw for light-gauge metal-to-metal fastening applications in HVAC, electrical, and metal framing work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or metal framers using a hex driver bit or magnetic nut driver on a variable-speed drill or screw gun. Ensure the workpiece is secure before driving to prevent walking. Do not overdrive — excess torque can strip the thread or damage thin sheet metal. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA duct construction standards or local mechanical codes when fastening duct assemblies.
