Itw Buildex 560094 Self Drilling Screw 1/4 in 100 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560094 is a 1/4 inch self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in metal-to-metal and metal-to-substrate applications. It features a hex washer head with a hex drive and a number 3 drill point that eliminates the need for a pilot hole. The thread size is 1/4-14 and the length under head measures 1-1/4 inches. The head is stainless steel for corrosion resistance, while the body is steel for strength and drill performance. Each package contains 100 screws. These fasteners are installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, electricians, and general contractors working with light-gauge metal framing, ductwork, and structural panels.

This screw is suited for applications involving light-gauge steel framing, metal roofing, HVAC duct assemblies, and metal building components. The number 3 drill point is rated for thicker gauge steel than standard number 2 points, making it appropriate for structural and heavy sheet metal work. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface and is driven with a standard hex driver bit, which is common in cordless drill and impact driver setups used across commercial and residential job sites.

Key Features

• Number 3 drill point eliminates pilot hole drilling in medium to heavy gauge steel
• Hex washer head provides wide bearing surface and resists pull-through
• Stainless steel head offers corrosion resistance in exposed or high-humidity environments
• Steel body maintains hardness and drill performance through substrate
• 1/4-14 thread size ensures strong thread engagement in metal substrates
• Packaged in quantities of 100 for job-site efficiency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fastener for light-gauge to medium-gauge steel framing, HVAC ductwork, metal roofing, and structural metal panel assemblies where a 1/4 inch hex washer head self drilling screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, and structural framing contractors using a cordless drill or impact driver fitted with a 1/4 inch hex driver bit. Verify that the drill point size is appropriate for the total combined gauge thickness of the substrates being fastened before driving. Do not overdrive — excess torque can strip the thread or damage the washer seating surface. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer specifications for fastener spacing and load requirements.
