Midwest Fasteners Black Oxide Steel Phillips Flat Washer Head Sheet Metal Tapping Screw

Midwest Fasteners Black Oxide Steel Phillips Flat Washer Head Sheet Metal Tapping Screw

The Midwest Fasteners Black Oxide Steel Phillips Flat Washer Head Sheet Metal Tapping Screw is a self-threading tapping screw built for fastening sheet metal and similar thin-gauge materials without a pre-tapped hole. This family is available in three screw sizes — #10 x 1-1/4", #8 x 1/2", and #8 x 5/8" — covering a range of lengths and gauges so you can match the correct screw to your sheet metal thickness and application. Each screw is made from steel and finished in black oxide for a uniform, low-glare black surface, and pairs a Phillips drive with a flat washer head that seats low on the work surface while spreading clamp load over a wider bearing area than a standard flat head. It's a practical, everyday tapping screw for contractors, maintenance techs, and fabricators doing metal-to-metal fastening.

Key Features

• Screw Size: Available in #10 x 1-1/4", #8 x 1/2", and #8 x 5/8" to match a range of sheet metal thicknesses and applications.
• Material & Finish: Steel construction with a black oxide finish for a uniform black appearance and added surface protection compared to bare steel.
• Drive: Phillips drive for straightforward installation with common driver bits and screw guns.
• Head Style: Flat washer head combines a low-profile flat seat with a washer-style bearing surface to help distribute clamping force and resist pull-through in thinner stock.
• Type: Tapping screw designed to self-thread into sheet metal and similar thin-gauge materials as it is driven.
• Color: Black, matching the black oxide finish for a consistent look across the fastened assembly.
