ForgeFix Self Tapping Screws Pan Head 3/4" x 6 Zinc Plated Box 200

These Forgefix Pozidriv Self-Tapping Screws are expertly designed to offer increased resistance to corrosion, thanks to their durable zinc plating. Their innovative Pan Head features a flat under-head surface, making them ideal for applications where a seamless fit on sheet materials of various types is essential. This design helps to minimize deformation during installation, ensuring a secure and stable fastening.

# Key Features

- Self-Tapping Design: These screws are engineered to tap their own threads into pre-drilled pilot holes within sheet metal, simplifying the installation process. The single-thread design is specifically crafted to resist pull-out, providing greater stability and strength.

- Versatile Applications: The Forgefix Pozidriv Self-Tapping Screws are suitable for a broad range of uses, making them ideal for various projects, including DIY tasks, engineering, ironmongery, electrical work, and plumbing applications. Their versatility ensures they meet the needs of both professionals and hobbyists alike.

- Corrosion Resistance: The zinc plating serves a dual purpose—creating a barrier against oxidation and acting as a sacrificial anode if the barrier is compromised. This protective feature enhances the longevity of the screws, as it prevents the formation of iron oxide, or rust, which can damage metal surfaces.

- Enhanced Performance: Zinc oxide, which can form on the screws' surface, has properties that help maintain the substrate’s integrity. Unlike iron oxide, zinc oxide does not trigger a breakdown of the underlying material, contributing to extended durability. If the zinc oxide remains intact, it can further inhibit oxidation, much like the protective oxide layers found on aluminum and stainless steel.

# Pozidriv Design Advantage

The Pozidriv design distinguishes itself from the classic Phillips screw. While similar in appearance, the Pozidriv screw boasts four additional points of contact and lacks the rounded corners characteristic of Phillips screws. This design allows for greater torque during installation, reducing the risk of cam-out—where the screwdriver slips out of the screw head. The Pozidriv screw also features an embossed line at 45 degrees to the slots, making it easy to identify and ensuring compatibility with the correct tooling.

# Specifications

The screws come in a convenient box of 200, with each screw measuring 3/4 inch in length. Weighing just 0.27 pounds, they are lightweight yet robust, making them an excellent choice for a diverse range of fastening tasks.

In summary, Forgefix Pozidriv Self-Tapping Screws combine quality, durability, and user-friendly design, making them a reliable choice for anyone seeking effective fastening solutions in various applications.
