Value Collection MSC-74125477 Self Drilling Screw No. 14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-74125477 is a No. 14 self drilling screw designed for fastening applications that require the drill point and fastener to work as a single unit, eliminating the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface and is driven with a standard hex driver bit. Built from Grade 410 stainless steel, this screw offers solid corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and outdoor trade applications. The No. 3 drill point is rated for moderate-gauge steel and other structural materials. Length under head measures 1 inch.

This screw is commonly used in light-gauge metal framing, HVAC ductwork assembly, roofing, and general sheet metal fabrication. Trade professionals in mechanical, sheet metal, and roofing disciplines reach for hex washer head self drillers when speed and reliability matter on production installs. The 1-inch length under head makes this size appropriate for through-fastening thin to moderate material stacks where a longer fastener would bottom out or protrude excessively.

Key Features

• No. 3 drill point drills its own pilot hole in moderate-gauge steel without pre-drilling
• Grade 410 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Hex washer head delivers a wide bearing surface and positive driver engagement
• 1-inch length under head suits thin to moderate material stacks
• No. 14 screw size with 1/4-14 thread for strong thread engagement in metal substrates
• Sold in multiples of 100, packaged as a single unit per order line

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 14 hex washer head self drilling screw suitable for light-gauge metal framing, sheet metal, and general mechanical fastening applications where a No. 3 drill point is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a hex driver bit sized for the hex washer head; use a variable-speed drill or screw gun to control drill-point penetration and avoid stripping. Do not apply excessive downward pressure once the drill point has engaged the material, as this can cause the fastener to cam out or the point to break. Follow applicable codes and project specifications for fastener spacing and edge distance in structural or load-bearing assemblies. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling if driven at excessive speed, so moderate RPM is recommended.
