Itw Buildex 560035 Self Drilling Screw No. 12 100 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560035 is a No. 12 self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in light steel and metal framing applications. Featuring a hex washer head with a hex drive, this screw combines a built-in drill point with threading to eliminate the need for a pilot hole, saving time on the job. At 1.5 inches in length under the head with a No. 2 drill point and 14 threads per inch, it is well suited for sheet metal, metal stud, and general metal-to-metal or metal-to-substrate connections. Each package contains 100 screws.

This screw is a standard choice for commercial and residential metal framing, HVAC ductwork attachment, electrical enclosure assembly, and light structural steel connections. The hex washer head provides a bearing surface that resists pull-through, and the hex drive allows use with standard hex bit drivers and nut drivers common on HVAC and sheet metal job sites. Installers in HVAC, general construction, and metal fabrication trades regularly use this fastener for securing light-gauge steel components.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point eliminates need for a pre-drilled pilot hole in light-gauge steel
• Hex washer head provides a wide bearing surface to resist pull-through
• No. 12-14 thread size delivers firm thread engagement in metal substrates
• Hex drive compatible with standard nut drivers and hex bit drivers
• Steel construction for durability in metal fastening applications
• 100 screws per package for efficient bulk use on larger jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fastener for light-gauge steel framing, sheet metal, and metal substrate applications requiring a No. 12 self drilling screw with a hex washer head.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general contractors using a hex bit driver or nut driver at controlled speed to avoid stripping the drill point. Ensure the substrate material and gauge are within the rated capacity of a No. 2 drill point before driving. Do not overdrive — stop when the washer head seats flush against the material surface. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and edge distance in structural applications.
