Nsi Industries jts30 Pan Head Tapping Screw 10x1.5in Zinc 100

Product Description

The NSI INDUSTRIES jts30 is a pan head sharp point tapping screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in electrical and trade installations. These combo-drive screws feature a sharp point that cuts its own threads on contact, eliminating the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole in most non-metal substrates. Fabricated from steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, the jts30 measures number 10 diameter by 1.5 inches in length. Sold in a jar of 100, this fastener is a standard consumable for electricians, HVAC technicians, and general trade contractors who need a dependable self-tapping solution on the job.

The jts30 is suited for securing electrical enclosures, junction boxes, conduit supports, sheet metal ductwork flanges, and similar trade applications. The pan head profile distributes clamping load across a broad bearing surface, making it appropriate for attaching thin-gauge materials. When fastening into metal, a pilot hole is recommended to prevent material distortion and ensure thread engagement. The combo drive accepts both Phillips and slotted drivers, reducing tool changeover time in the field.

Key Features

• Sharp point tip cuts threads without a pilot hole in non-metal materials
• Pan head profile provides wide bearing surface for secure clamping
• Combo drive accepts Phillips or slotted screwdrivers
• Steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance
• Number 10 x 1.5 inch size suits common trade fastening tasks
• Packaged 100 per jar for easy jobsite storage and dispensing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose pan head tapping screw for use in electrical, HVAC, and mechanical trade applications requiring a number 10 self-tapping fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no pilot hole when threading into wood, plastic, or similar soft substrates. When fastening into sheet metal or steel, drill an appropriately sized pilot hole first to prevent material damage and ensure proper thread engagement. Use a Phillips or slotted bit driver at controlled torque to avoid stripping the combo drive recess or overtightening into thin-gauge material. Fastener selection and installation in electrical applications should comply with applicable NEC requirements.
