Midwest Fasteners Steel Phillips Flat Head Tapping Screw
The Midwest Fasteners Steel Phillips Flat Head Tapping Screw is a self-tapping fastener built with a flush-seating flat head and a standard Phillips drive. This family is available across a range of screw sizes from 4 x 1/2 up to 6 x 3/4, and is offered in both Black and Bronze finishes to match dark-painted panels, electronics housings, and other finished hardware. As a tapping screw, it cuts its own mating threads directly into sheet metal, plastic, or pre-drilled material, speeding installation and eliminating the need for a separate nut on the back side. The flat head seats flush with the work surface once driven home, making this screw family a practical choice for panels, enclosures, and trim work where a proud fastener head would interfere with fit or finish.
