Itw Buildex 560044 Self Drilling Screw No.12 100-pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560044 is a No. 12 self drilling screw designed for fast, clean penetration into metal without a pre-drilled pilot hole. It features a hex washer head driven by a hex drive tool and measures 1-1/4 inches in length under the head. The No. 4.5 drill point provides reliable starting and drilling action in typical sheet metal and light structural applications. Sold in a package of 100, this screw is a standard fastener stocked by HVAC sheet metal mechanics, electricians, and general contractors for everyday metal-to-metal and metal-to-substrate assembly work.

This screw is suited for light commercial and residential construction applications where a self drilling fastener eliminates the separate drilling step. Common uses include attaching sheet metal ductwork, electrical enclosures, metal framing components, and similar thin-gauge metal assemblies. The hex washer head provides a wide bearing surface that resists pull-through, and the hex drive reduces cam-out during installation. The No. 4.5 drill point handles a range of light-gauge steel applications found in HVAC, electrical, and general construction trades.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a hex drive bit and a standard variable-speed drill or screw gun. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure or duct system before fastening into or near live components. Use appropriate PPE including eye protection when driving self drilling screws into sheet metal. Follow applicable local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and edge distance.
