Itw Buildex 560071 Self Drilling Screw No. 12 100 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560071 is a No. 12 self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in steel and similar materials without the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole. Featuring a flat head profile and Phillips drive, this screw measures 2.25 inches in overall length and uses a No. 4 drill point for clean penetration. The 10-24 thread pitch provides strong thread engagement. Made from steel, it is built for the load demands common in commercial and residential construction applications. Licensed contractors, HVAC installers, and general tradespeople rely on this type of fastener for metal-to-metal and metal-to-substrate connections.

This screw is suited for use in light-gauge steel framing, HVAC ductwork assembly, equipment mounting, and similar structural fastening tasks. The No. 4 drill point handles moderate steel thickness without pre-drilling. The flat head sits flush with or below the material surface, which is important in applications where a smooth face is required. Each package contains 100 screws, making this a practical quantity for job-site use or service van stocking.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style self drilling fastener for use in light-gauge steel framing, ductwork, and general metal construction assemblies where a No. 12 flat head screw with a No. 4 drill point is specified.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips-tip power driver set to an appropriate clutch torque to avoid stripping the drive recess or overdriving the flat head. Verify material thickness is within the rated range for a No. 4 drill point before driving. Power down any energized equipment or panels in the work area before fastening near electrical components. Follow applicable building and mechanical codes for fastener spacing and edge distance in structural or load-bearing applications.
