Itw Buildex 560119 Self Drilling Screw No.12 100 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560119 is a No. 12 self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in steel and light structural applications. Featuring a hex washer head with a hex drive, this screw drills its own pilot hole and taps threads in a single pass, eliminating the need for pre-drilling. The 1-1/4 inch length under head provides solid bite in sheet metal, metal framing, and HVAC ductwork assemblies. Each package contains 100 screws. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal workers routinely specify this fastener size for metal-to-metal connections in mechanical systems.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where self drilling capability speeds up installation. Common uses include securing sheet metal duct sections, attaching metal framing members, and fastening electrical enclosures or equipment mounting brackets to steel substrates. The No. 2 drill point is rated for light-gauge steel penetration without a pre-drilled hole.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point drills and taps in one step — no pre-drilling required
• Hex washer head with hex drive for high torque transfer and positive bit engagement
• No. 12-14 thread size provides strong thread engagement in light-gauge steel
• 1-1/4 inch length under head suits standard sheet metal and metal framing thicknesses
• Steel construction for durability in mechanical and electrical installation environments
• Sold in a 100-count package for job-site or shop stocking convenience

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for light-gauge steel sheet metal, metal framing, and similar trade applications requiring a No. 12 self drilling screw with a hex washer head.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, or electricians using a hex-drive bit in a variable-speed drill or screw gun. Set the clutch or speed appropriately for light-gauge steel to avoid stripping threads or overdriving the head. Always confirm the substrate gauge is within the rated capacity of a No. 2 drill point before driving. Eye protection is recommended when driving self drilling screws into metal.
