Midwest Fasteners Steel Phillips Oval Trim Washer Head Sheet Metal Screws

Midwest Fasteners Steel Phillips Oval Trim Washer Head Sheet Metal Tapping Screws

Midwest Fasteners Steel Phillips Oval Trim Washer Head Sheet Metal Tapping Screws are built for techs and fabricators who need a dependable tapping screw with a clean, finished look once driven. These are steel-bodied sheet metal screws with an oval trim washer head and a Phillips drive, giving you the low-profile, decorative appearance of an oval head combined with the extra bearing surface of a built-in washer. That added washer face spreads clamp load over a wider area than a standard oval head alone, which helps reduce pull-through in thinner sheet metal, trim panels, and light-gauge applications where a finished appearance still matters. As a tapping screw, this product is designed to cut its own mating threads into pre-drilled holes in sheet metal, light gauge steel, aluminum, and similar thin-wall materials, eliminating the need for a separate nut on the back side. The Phillips drive is a widely available, easy-to-source drive style that works with standard driver bits found in nearly every tech's kit, making these screws practical for field service, repair, and assembly work where quick, repeatable driving matters. This listing covers the full size run, available from #8 x 5/8" up through #10 x 1-1/4", with each size offered in either a black phosphate or chrome-tint finish so you can match the fastener to the look of the panel or enclosure you're working on.
