Value Collection R52001065 Self Drilling Screw 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52001065 is a self-drilling screw designed for fastening applications that require a combined drilling and threading action in a single operation. Built from grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this screw features a 1/4-inch diameter hex washer head and a number 3 drill point. The 1-3/4-inch length under head provides solid bite through structural members, metal panels, or sheet-to-sheet connections. Electricians, HVAC installers, and general contractors use this type of fastener when attaching metal framing, ductwork brackets, or panel components without pre-drilling.

This self-drilling screw is suited for light-gauge to medium-gauge steel applications common in commercial and residential construction, mechanical, and electrical work. The hex washer head distributes load across the fastened surface and is driven with a standard hex bit. The number 3 drill point is matched to thicker material gauges, making it appropriate for attaching steel framing members, equipment mounting brackets, and metal enclosures where a pre-drilled pilot hole is not practical. Sold in minimum order quantities of 50 units per order.

Key Features

• Number 3 drill point allows self-drilling into thicker steel gauges without a pilot hole
• Grade 1016/1024 steel construction meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 standards
• Zinc-plated finish provides baseline corrosion protection for indoor and sheltered outdoor use
• Hex washer head distributes clamping load and resists pull-through
• Hex drive compatible with standard power drivers and hex bit sockets
• 1/4-inch diameter with 1-3/4-inch length under head for secure engagement through structural layers

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fastener for light-gauge to medium-gauge steel assembly applications where a 1/4-inch hex washer head self-drilling screw with a number 3 drill point is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a hex-drive power driver or impact driver. Ensure the driver bit size matches the 1/4-inch hex drive to prevent cam-out or fastener damage. Verify material gauge compatibility with the number 3 drill point before driving — forcing the fastener into material beyond the drill point rating will cause tip failure. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer torque guidance for the assembly being fastened.
