self drilling self tapping stainless steel screws

Our Truss Head Self-Drilling Screws are the ultimate all-in-one fastening solution, engineered to dramatically increase efficiency by drilling, tapping, and fastening in a single, seamless operation. These screws feature a specially designed drill point that eliminates the need for pre-drilling, allowing you to fasten directly into metal and other materials. The screw is topped with a low-profile truss head, which provides a wide bearing surface to distribute the clamping load and prevent pull-through on thin materials like sheet metal. Ideal for building and construction applications, these screws save significant time and labor while ensuring a secure and reliable connection.

Product Details

The superior functionality of our self-drilling screws lies in their innovative design. The hardened drill point acts as a miniature drill bit, cleanly cutting through the material to create a perfectly sized hole. As the screw is driven further, the subsequent threads tap into the newly drilled hole, forming a tight, precise mating thread for maximum holding power.

The truss head, with its wide, slightly rounded top and low profile, is specifically designed for applications involving thin gauge materials. It offers excellent clamping force without deforming the surface and provides a finished look with minimal obstruction. Manufactured from high-quality steel (such as C1022A) or corrosion-resistant stainless steel (Grades A2-70, A4-70), and available with protective zinc plating, these screws are built for durability and long-lasting performance.

Product Features

Our Truss Head Self-Drilling Screws are designed to provide maximum efficiency and reliability, offering several key advantages:

  • Drills, Taps, and Fastens in One Step: The integrated drill point eliminates the need for a separate drilling operation, drastically reducing installation time and labor costs.
  • Wide Truss Head Design: The large bearing surface is ideal for fastening thin materials, preventing pull-through and ensuring a secure clamp without damaging the surface.
  • High-Strength Materials: Available in hardened carbon steel (Grade 8.8) for strength or stainless steel (A2/A4) for superior corrosion and weather resistance.
  • Protective Coatings: Zinc and Yellow Zinc plating provide excellent protection against rust and corrosion, extending the lifespan of the fastener in various environments.
  • Versatile Range: A comprehensive selection of diameters and lengths ensures the perfect screw for a wide variety of building and industrial applications.

Product Applications

The unique combination of a self-drilling point and a truss head makes this screw exceptionally versatile for numerous applications, particularly in the building and construction industries:

  • Sheet Metal Fabrication: Attaching metal lath, panels, and roofing to steel studs or frames.
  • HVAC Systems: Assembling ductwork and securing components and brackets.
  • Steel Framing: Fastening light-gauge steel studs and tracks.
  • General Construction: Securing trim, clips, and accessories to metal structures.
  • Automotive and Trailer Assembly: Attaching panels and components where a low-profile head is required.
