Type A tapping screws are designed to cut threads as they are driven into pre-drilled or punched holes in sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar materials. The hex washer head provides a built-in bearing surface that distributes clamping load and allows for fast, positive drive with a hex-head driver or nut driver. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty outdoor installations. These fasteners are a standard trade-supply item used by HVAC technicians, sheet metal fabricators, plumbers, and electricians for securing ductwork, panels, junction boxes, and equipment housings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe J1232ACHZ is suited for light-gauge sheet metal applications where a self-tapping fastener is required. Common installation scenarios include HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical panel and enclosure fastening, plumbing equipment mounting brackets, and general sheet metal fabrication. The No. 12 diameter and 2 inch length make this screw appropriate for applications requiring a slightly longer grip than standard sheet metal screws while maintaining a compact head profile. Sold individually per the jar of 100 count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType A tapping thread form cuts its own mating threads in pre-drilled or punched sheet metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex washer head provides integrated bearing surface and positive hex-drive engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc plated finish for basic corrosion resistance in light-duty environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo. 12 diameter x 2 inches in length for added grip in thicker material stacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged 100 per jar for easy bench storage and job-site use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in light-gauge sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-material assemblies where a Type A self-tapping screw with a hex washer head is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, electricians, or plumbers using a nut driver or hex-head bit driver. Always pre-drill or punch the correct pilot hole size as specified for No. 12 Type A tapping screws to avoid material distortion or fastener failure. De-energize or lock out any electrical equipment before fastening panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten, as excess torque can strip the self-tapped threads in thin sheet metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type A Tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Washer Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 12 x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity per Package\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 per jar\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 662352111065\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STEWART FASTENER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: J1232ACHZ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STEWART FASTENER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51342880047410,"sku":"J1232ACHZ","price":31.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310552170.jpg?v=1782009422","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/stewart-fastener-j1232achz-hex-washer-head-tapping-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
