Midwest Fasteners Black Finish Self-Drilling Pan Head Slotted Tapping Screw

The Midwest Fasteners tapping screw family covers black self-drilling pan head slotted tapping screws built for fast installation into sheet metal and similar substrates without the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole. This family spans 5/16" and 3/8" diameters in lengths from 2-7/8" up to 10" across 13 size options, so the correct diameter and length can be matched to the job at hand. Every option in the family shares the same pan head profile, slotted drive, self-drilling point, and black finish, giving installers a consistent, low-profile fastener with a clean, uniform appearance where cosmetic consistency matters. Select the diameter and length your application requires from the available sizes in this family.
