Itw Buildex 560072 Self Drilling Screw 12 Flat Head 250pk

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560072 is a size 12 self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in steel and structural applications without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The flat head profile sits flush with the work surface when fully driven, and the Phillips drive provides positive bit engagement during installation. Built from steel with a number 4 drill point, this screw measures 2.25 inches in overall length and carries a thread size of 10-24. Each package contains 250 screws. Licensed trades and experienced fastener installers rely on this screw for metal-to-metal and metal-to-substrate connections across mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and general construction work.

This screw is well suited for light-gauge and medium-gauge sheet metal assembly, ductwork fabrication, electrical enclosures, equipment panels, and structural metal framing applications. The self drilling point eliminates a separate drilling step, reducing labor time on production runs or field installations. The flat head profile is ideal for countersunk applications where a low-profile, flush finish is required. Sold in a 250-piece package, this SKU suits both job-site use and shop stock.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fastener for light-gauge to medium-gauge steel sheet metal and structural metal applications requiring a size 12 flat head self drilling screw with a number 4 drill point.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tradespeople including sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and structural framers. Use a Phillips bit matched to the screw drive and set the clutch or torque on a power driver to avoid stripping the head or over-driving through thin material. Ensure the base material is within the rated thickness range for the number 4 drill point before driving. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and load requirements.
