Midwest Fasteners Steel Slotted Truss Head Zinc Plated Tapping Screw

Midwest Fasteners Steel Slotted Truss Head Zinc Plated Tapping Screw

Midwest Fasteners builds this zinc plated steel tapping screw with a low-profile slotted truss head, offered across a range of sizes from #10 x 5/8" up to 10-24 x 1/2" for light-gauge sheet metal, panel and enclosure work. As a tapping screw, it cuts its own mating threads as it's driven, so no pre-tapped hole or nut is required – just a correctly sized pilot hole in the base material. The zinc finish on the steel body provides basic corrosion resistance across every size in the range, and the truss head's broad bearing surface spreads clamping load across thinner materials. Sold as Each for stocking bins, repair kits and production runs.
