Itw Buildex 560126 Self Drilling Screw 1/4-14 100 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560126 is a 1/4-inch self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in steel and metal construction applications. It features a hex washer head with a hex drive for high-torque installation using a standard nut driver or hex bit. The screw measures 7/8 inch in length under the head and is threaded 1/4-14, with a No. 1 drill point that eliminates the need for a pilot hole. Each package contains 100 screws. This fastener is installed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors working with light-gauge steel assemblies.

This self drilling screw is commonly used in light commercial and residential construction for attaching metal framing, ductwork, electrical enclosures, metal decking, and similar steel-to-steel applications. The No. 1 drill point is suited for thinner gauge steel. Its hex washer head provides a bearing surface that resists pull-through and distributes load across the material. The 100-count package is a standard job-site quantity for this fastener size.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a hex bit driver or nut driver rated for the application. Ensure the drill point is aligned perpendicular to the work surface before driving to avoid walking or stripping. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and load requirements. Always wear appropriate eye protection when driving self drilling screws.
