The MIDWEST FASTENER - 50908 is a self-drilling screw, intended for use in materials without pre-drilled holes. This type of fastener is commonly used in industrial and commercial settings such as metal fabrication, construction, and assembly. It is designed with the intent of potentially reducing labor time and effort compared to traditional screw types.
- Drive: The Phillips drive requires a Phillips tool for installation or removal.
- Fastener Length: With a length of 3 inches, it determines how deeply it can penetrate and secure materials together.
- Finish: Zinc Plated finish is intended to enhance durability, corrosion resistance, and appearance. It may provide certain functional properties such as improved grip or reduced friction during installation.
- Head Type: The flat head type is compatible with specific tools and may be suitable for certain materials and applications.
- Material: Made from steel which contributes to its potential strength, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with specific industrial applications.
- Materials for Use With: Intended for penetration into metals; secure fastening depends on proper usage.
- Screw Size: #12 size refers to its width and the number of threads per inch determining how it fits into materials for secure fastening in industrial applications.
- System of Measurement: Uses an Inch system measurement standard to determine size and length
- Thread Style: Fully threaded style implies that threads run along the entire length of the screw; hold capacity depends on various factors including application conditions
- Tip Type: Drilling tip design enables potential self-drilling capabilities; effectiveness varies depending upon material hardness among other factors
