Midwest Fasteners Zinc Plated Steel Slotted Truss Head Self-Tapping Screw

Midwest Fasteners Zinc Plated Steel Slotted Truss Head Self-Tapping Screw

The Midwest Fasteners Zinc Plated Steel Slotted Truss Head Self-Tapping Screw is a steel, zinc-plated fastener engineered to drive straight into sheet metal and other thin-gauge materials without requiring a pre-tapped hole. The low-profile truss head sits flush against the work surface while spreading clamping load wide across soft or thin stock, reducing the risk of pull-through common with narrower head styles. A slotted drive delivers simple, dependable engagement for hand-driven or power-driven installation with a standard flat-blade screwdriver or driver bit, no specialty tooling required. This is a family listing spanning multiple gauge and length combinations of the same steel, zinc-plated, slotted truss head self-tapping screw, so installers can select the exact size needed for their application while material, finish, head profile and drive type remain consistent across every option in the range.

Key Features

• Material & Finish: Steel construction with a zinc finish that adds corrosion resistance compared to bare steel, helping the fastener hold up in general-purpose environments.
• Head Type: Truss head design provides a low-profile, wide bearing surface that resists pull-through when fastening thin or soft materials.
• Drive Type: Slotted drive allows straightforward engagement with a standard flat-blade screwdriver or driver bit, with no specialty tooling required.
• Self-Tapping Function: Cuts its own mating threads as it is driven into sheet metal and similar thin-gauge substrates, eliminating the need for a separate nut or pre-drilled, pre-tapped hole.
• Sizing Range: Offered across a range of gauge and length combinations within this family listing, so installers can match the screw to the thickness and application at hand without switching product lines.
• Country of Origin: Manufactured in China.
