Value Collection 1480KW Self Drilling Screw Hex Washer Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1480KW is a 1/4-inch hex washer head self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening without a pilot hole. Manufactured from grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw offers corrosion resistance for general industrial and construction applications. The hex drive head accepts a standard hex driver or bit, and the Number 3 drill point cuts cleanly through light-gauge steel and similar substrates. At 5 inches in length under the head, this fastener is suited for thicker material stacks or assemblies requiring deeper thread engagement. Tradespeople and assembly technicians reach for this screw when speed and consistent pull-out strength matter.

This self drilling screw is commonly used in light commercial construction, metal framing, HVAC ductwork support structures, and general sheet metal fabrication. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface that distributes clamping load and resists pull-through. The zinc coating makes it appropriate for indoor and semi-protected outdoor environments where mild corrosion resistance is required. It is a direct-drive fastener installed with a standard hex-bit driver or nutrunner.

Key Features

• Number 3 drill point drills its own pilot hole in light-gauge steel without pre-drilling
• Hex washer head provides a wide bearing surface and resists pull-through
• Hex drive compatible with standard 1/4-inch hex bits and nutrunners
• Grade 1016/1024 steel construction for reliable tensile and shear strength
• Zinc-plated finish provides moderate corrosion protection for indoor and semi-protected environments
• Meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose self drilling screw suitable for light-gauge steel, metal framing, and sheet metal assembly applications where a 1/4-inch hex washer head fastener with a Number 3 drill point is specified.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general construction tradespeople using a hex-bit driver or pneumatic nutrunner. Ensure the driver speed and torque are appropriate for the gauge of material being fastened to avoid stripping the drill point or overtorquing the head. Do not reuse a self drilling screw once it has been removed, as the drill point and threads will be compromised. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer assembly specifications for fastener spacing and edge distance.
