Midwest Fasteners Brass Plated Steel Phillips Flat Head Tapping Screw
Midwest Fasteners Brass Plated Steel Phillips Flat Head Tapping Screws are self-tapping fasteners built for sheet metal, trim and decorative hardware applications where a bright gold finish matters as much as a secure grip. This family is available in sizes ranging from #6 x 1/2" up through #12 x 1", including #10 x 1", #10 x 1-1/2", #10 x 2", #10 x 3/4", #12 x 1", #12 x 3/4", #6 x 1/2", #6 x 3/4", #8 x 1/2", #8 x 3/4", #8 x 1", #8 x 1-1/4", and #8 x 1-1/2", letting installers match the exact gauge and length needed for the job while keeping the same Phillips drive, flat head, steel body and brass plated finish across every size. Manufactured in the United States, these screws self-tap into thin-gauge sheet metal without a pre-drilled, pre-threaded hole, leaving a clean, flush finish on cabinet hardware, nameplates, trim panels and light-duty metal assemblies.
