Stewart Fastener J1020BHTZ Hex Head Tek Screw 10-16 X 1-1/4

Product Description

The STEWART FASTENER J1020BHTZ is a 10-16 x 1-1/4 inch hex head self-drilling screw, commonly called a Tek screw, sold in a jar of 100 units. Self-drilling screws combine a drill point and threading in a single fastener, eliminating the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole. The hex head design accepts a standard hex driver or nut driver for fast, high-torque installation. These fasteners are sized at 10-16, meaning a number 10 diameter with 16 threads per inch, making them well suited for metal-to-metal and metal-to-substrate applications common in HVAC, electrical, and light construction work. Licensed tradespeople and experienced installers routinely rely on this screw format for panel attachment, ductwork, and equipment enclosures.

This screw is used across residential and light commercial jobsites wherever a self-drilling fastener is required for attaching sheet metal panels, framing components, or equipment enclosures. The 1-1/4 inch length provides sufficient bite for typical gauge sheet metal applications. HVAC technicians commonly use this fastener type for duct connections, unit panels, and electrical enclosure work. Electricians and general contractors also reach for hex head Tek screws when securing metal framing or conduit supports. The jar packaging keeps fasteners organized and accessible on the job.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson using an appropriate hex-tip driver bit and variable-speed drill or screw gun. Do not overdrive the screw, as stripping the material or shearing the fastener can result. Ensure the work material is within the rated drilling capacity for a number 10 self-drilling point before installation. Shut down and de-energize any associated electrical equipment before fastening panels or enclosures.
