Itw Buildex 560114 Self Drilling Screw No. 12 250 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560114 is a No. 12 self-drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in steel-to-steel and steel-to-substrate applications. Featuring a hex washer head with a hex drive, this screw eliminates the need for a pilot hole, drilling and fastening in a single step. The 3-point drill tip improves penetration speed and reduces cam-out risk. At 3/4 inch length under head, it is suited for light-gauge metal work typical in HVAC ductwork, metal framing, roofing, and sheet metal assemblies. Each package contains 250 screws. Installation is handled by sheet metal mechanics, HVAC technicians, and general contractors working with light-gauge steel.

This screw is well-suited for light commercial and residential applications involving thin-gauge steel panels, HVAC equipment enclosures, duct connections, and metal stud framing. The No. 12 thread size and No. 3 drill point are matched for penetrating steel material without pre-drilling. The hex washer head provides a bearing surface that resists pull-through, making it a common choice for sheet metal assembly and equipment installation where a secure, low-profile fastener head is required.

Key Features

• No. 3 drill point self-drills through light-gauge steel without a pilot hole
• Hex washer head with hex drive for high torque and cam-out resistance
• 3/4 inch length under head suits thin sheet metal and light-gauge panel applications
• No. 12-14 thread size for strong thread engagement in steel
• Steel construction for durability in standard fastening environments
• 250 screws per package for job-site quantity use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard self-drilling screw for light-gauge steel fastening applications in HVAC, sheet metal, and metal framing installations where a No. 12 hex washer head screw with a No. 3 drill point is specified.

Installation Notes

Install using a hex-drive bit in a variable-speed drill or screw gun set to an appropriate torque clutch setting to avoid overdriving. Power down or de-energize any equipment being fastened before beginning work. Wear appropriate eye protection when self-drilling into steel, as metal shavings are produced during the drilling action. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and edge distance in structural and sheet metal applications.
