Itw Buildex 560087 Self Drilling Screw 12-14 100 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560087 is a No. 12-14 self drilling screw designed for fastening applications where a pre-drilled pilot hole is not practical. Featuring a hex washer head and hex drive, it provides strong torque transfer and a broad bearing surface. The screw uses a No. 2 drill point to penetrate base materials without pre-drilling. The stainless steel head paired with a steel body offers corrosion resistance at the surface while maintaining core strength. Each package contains 100 screws. Length under head measures 1.25 inches. This hardware is used by HVAC installers, sheet metal workers, electricians, and general trade contractors in light-gauge metal and structural fastening work.

The 560087 is suited for residential and light commercial applications where self drilling fasteners are required for attaching sheet metal, light structural components, or panel assemblies. The hex washer head style distributes load across a wider surface area, reducing pull-through risk in thinner materials. The hex drive allows use with standard hex bit drivers and nut setters common in trade tool kits. This screw is sold in a 100-piece package, making it appropriate for both single-job use and stocking in a service van or shop inventory.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use self drilling screw for light-gauge metal fastening applications common in HVAC, electrical, and sheet metal installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified trade professionals familiar with fastener specifications for the base material being penetrated. Use an appropriate hex bit driver or nut setter sized for the hex head to avoid cam-out or head damage. Do not overdrive the screw, as excessive torque can strip threads or deform the washer head bearing surface. Ensure base materials are within the rated capacity of the No. 2 drill point before driving.
