Midwest Fasteners 31427 14 x 3/4 Slotted Hex Tapping Screw

Midwest Fasteners 31427 14 x 3/4 Slotted Hex Tapping Screw

The Midwest Fasteners 31427 is a 14 x 3/4 slotted hex tapping screw built from steel and finished in zinc for added corrosion resistance on general shop and jobsite work. This slotted hex drive configuration gives installers a choice between a slotted screwdriver or a hex driver/nut driver to seat the screw, which is handy when you're working in tight spots or with a mix of hand tools. As a tapping screw, it cuts its own mating threads into pre-drilled holes in sheet metal, light-gauge steel, or similar base materials, eliminating the need for a separate nut on the back side. Sold each, so you can buy exactly the quantity you need for the job at hand without committing to a full box.
