Itw Buildex 560060 Self Drilling Screw 1/4-14 X 4 in 100 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560060 is a 1/4-inch self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in steel-to-steel and structural applications. Featuring a hex washer head with a hex drive and a No. 4 drill point, this screw cuts its own pilot hole, eliminating the need for pre-drilling. The 4-inch length under head provides deep thread engagement in thick material assemblies. Each package contains 100 screws. Constructed from steel, these fasteners are suited for HVAC ductwork framing, metal building components, and other light structural connections handled by mechanical contractors and ironworkers.

This screw is used in commercial and residential construction where steel framing, metal roofing, HVAC equipment mounting, and structural panel attachment are required. The No. 4 drill point rating indicates capacity for drilling through heavier-gauge steel than standard self drillers. The 1/4-14 thread size delivers strong clamping force in metal substrate applications. Installers working on metal stud framing, equipment rails, and duct support systems will find this fastener suitable for repeated production use.

Key Features

• No. 4 drill point drills through heavier-gauge steel without pre-drilling
• 1/4-14 thread size provides strong pull-out resistance in metal substrates
• Hex washer head distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface
• Hex drive reduces cam-out during high-torque power tool installation
• 4-inch length under head suits thick material stack-ups and structural connections
• Steel construction for durability in metal framing and mechanical applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fastener for steel-to-steel self drilling applications in HVAC, metal framing, and light structural assembly work.

Installation Notes

Install with a hex-drive power screwdriver or impact driver set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid overdriving. Power down and de-energize any adjacent electrical or mechanical systems before fastening near live equipment. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer torque guidance for structural connections. Do not use in applications exceeding the rated drill point capacity for material gauge.
