Product Description
The RATIONAL 1003.2265p is a countersunk Phillips-head self-tapping screw designed for use in commercial cooking equipment assemblies. Measuring 4.2 millimeters in diameter and 16 millimeters in length, this fastener is engineered to cut its own threads on initial installation, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole in compatible sheet metal or plastic panels. It is a genuine replacement part sourced through RATIONAL's parts and accessories line, intended for licensed appliance technicians and commercial kitchen equipment service professionals performing repairs or component replacements on RATIONAL commercial units.
This screw is used in commercial foodservice equipment service applications, typically during panel removal and reinstallation, interior component replacement, or structural reassembly of RATIONAL combi oven and commercial appliance units. Its flathead countersunk profile allows the fastener to sit flush with the mounting surface, which is critical in applications where clearance between components is limited. Technicians servicing commercial cooking equipment in restaurant, institutional, or catering environments will encounter this fastener as a standard hardware element in RATIONAL appliance construction.

Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a qualified commercial appliance technician familiar with RATIONAL equipment service procedures. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before removing or replacing any hardware. Use a Phillips screwdriver or appropriately sized Phillips bit with a calibrated torque driver to avoid overdriving the self-tapping threads. Do not reuse a self-tapping screw in a previously tapped hole if the threads show signs of stripping or deformation.
