Maximize Grip, Minimize Strip: The Pan Head Advantage.
Phillips Pan Head Self-Drilling Screws: Accurate Fastening for Building with Metal
Our Phillips Pan Head Self-Drilling Screws can drill, tap, and fasten all at once, so you don't have to pre-drill. This cuts down on installation time and labor costs by up to 60% when used in sheet metal and steel framing.

Point Failure and "Walking" on Steel That Has Been Hardened.
This issue can be addressed with our self-drilling screw featuring carbide tips, designed for materials that are notoriously difficult to drill through, such as staincarbide less steel or pre-painted panels. The tip remains sharp for a significantly longer period, thereby preventing work from slowing down and minimizing material waste.
Thread galling and head stripping are common problems encountered during metal construction.
The solution lies in controlled heat tscrew reatment, which makes the head hard and the thread soft. As a result, the head is less prone to stripping, even when subjected to high torque, and the thread remains flexible enough to prevent seizing and galling, particularly when used with aluminum.
Corrosion is a problem that weakens the structure.
Our answer to this problem is the Geomet-coated screw, which is specifically designed for outdoor or corrosive environments, in addition to regular zinc plating. This coating, which is non-organic and contains a lubricant, provides excellent protection against red and white rust without the risk of hydrogen embrittlement.
Pan head drilling screw:Guide and choose a visual application
Choosing the right point (#2, #3, #4, #5) is very important. If you use a point that is too small on thick metal, the tip will burn out. If you use a point that is too big on thin sheet metal, it will strip.
Point #2: For steel that is 18-gauge (1.2mm) or less. Great for thin sheet metal and light ductwork.
Point #3: For steel that is 14 to 12 gauge (1.9 to 2.7 mm). The most popular choice for roofing and framing with steel studs.
Point #4: For steel that is 1/8" (3.1mm) thick. Used to connect structural parts that are thicker.
Point #5: For steel that is 3/16" (4.8mm) or thicker. For connections in heavy-duty structures.
Sinsun Phillips pan head self drilling screws enable quick one-pass installation, perfect for reliable metal-to-metal and metal-to-wood fastening.
