Stewart Fastener J1216BHTZ Hex Head Tek Screw 12-14x1 100pk

Product Description

The STEWART FASTENER J1216BHTZ is a hex head self-drilling tek screw sized 12-14 x 1 inch, sold in a jar of 100. This fastener drills its own pilot hole and taps its own thread in a single pass, eliminating the need for pre-drilling in most light-gauge metal and sheet metal applications. The hex head design allows for consistent torque application with a standard nut driver or hex bit. These screws are a staple on commercial and residential job sites where speed and reliability in metal-to-metal or metal-to-substrate fastening is required.

The J1216BHTZ is suited for HVAC duct work, metal framing, roofing, and light structural sheet metal assembly. The 12-14 thread size and 1-inch length make it a common choice for attaching sheet metal panels, duct flanges, and similar thin-gauge metal components. Each jar contains 100 screws, making it practical for service vans, job boxes, and shop inventory. Trade professionals in HVAC, sheet metal, roofing, and general construction will find this fastener appropriate for everyday fastening tasks.

Key Features

• Self-drilling point eliminates pre-drilling in light-gauge metal applications
• Hex head accepts standard nut driver or hex bit for fast installation
• 12-14 x 1 inch size suitable for common sheet metal and duct assembly tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex head self-drilling tek screw for use in light-gauge metal-to-metal and metal-to-substrate fastening applications common in HVAC, sheet metal, and roofing work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a hex-head nut driver or hex bit rated for the screw drive size. Apply consistent axial pressure when starting the screw to allow the drill point to engage before the thread begins to cut. Do not overdrive — stripping the base material or pulling through thin-gauge metal reduces holding strength. Follow applicable building and mechanical codes for fastener spacing and pull-out requirements in structural or duct assembly applications.
