Itw Buildex 560069 Self Drilling Screw No. 10 Flat Head 250 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560069 is a No. 10 self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in steel and similar substrates without the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole. Featuring a flat head profile and Phillips drive, this screw sits flush with the work surface after installation. The No. 3 drill point bores through the material as the fastener is driven, combining drilling and threading into a single operation. At 1-7/16 inches overall length with a 10-24 thread pitch, it is well suited for light structural and sheet metal assembly tasks. Each package contains 250 screws. Installation is performed by qualified tradespeople using a Phillips bit driver or screw gun.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC duct assembly, light-gauge steel framing, electrical enclosure work, and general sheet metal fabrication. The flat head design is preferred in applications where a flush or countersunk finish is required to avoid interference with mating surfaces or panels. The 10-24 thread and No. 3 drill point combination is a standard configuration for fastening into thin-gauge steel, making this screw a practical stock item for contractors and service technicians working across multiple trade disciplines.

Key Features

• No. 3 drill point drills and taps in a single pass, eliminating pre-drilling
• Flat head profile seats flush with the work surface for clean panel installations
• Phillips drive compatible with standard screw guns and bit drivers
• 10-24 thread pitch provides consistent thread engagement in light-gauge steel
• Steel construction for durability in mechanical and structural applications
• 250-piece packaging supports high-volume fastening work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 self drilling screw for use in light-gauge steel, sheet metal panels, and similar thin-material fastening applications common in HVAC, electrical, and general construction work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a power screw gun or drill with a Phillips bit. No pilot hole is required when fastening into material within the rated gauge range for a No. 3 drill point. Ensure the fastener is driven straight to prevent thread stripping or bit cam-out. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and load requirements.
