10 x 1-7/16 Self-Drill Metal Screws, Stainless, Wafer Head, QTY:100

#10 x 1-7/16-in. 410 SS Self-Drilling Wafer-Head Screws - Qty:100

Get reliable fastening performance when attaching plywood and OSB (oriented strand board) panels to steel studs with these self-drilling wafer-head screws with wings. Designed specifically for metal-to-wood panel applications, these screws combine a hardened Type 410 stainless steel construction with a self-drilling point for efficient installation through panel material and into steel substrates.

Self-Drilling Design for Steel Studs

The integrated #3 drill point is designed to drill into steel framing without requiring a separate pilot hole. Above the drill point, the specially designed wings create a clearance hole through the plywood or OSB. This helps prevent the panel from climbing up the screw shank during installation. As the drill point engages the steel substrate, the wings break away, allowing the screw's machine-screw threads to engage the steel for a secure connection.

Wafer Head and Phillips Drive

The wafer head provides a broad bearing surface for fastening panel materials while maintaining a low-profile appearance. A #2 Phillips drive allows for straightforward installation with commonly used Phillips driver bits. The screws feature a fully threaded machine-screw thread with 24 threads per inch for consistent engagement with steel studs.

Type 410 Stainless Steel Construction

These self-drilling screws are manufactured from Type 410 stainless steel, a grade that can be hardened through heat treatment to provide the strength and hardness needed to drill through metal. The stainless steel is coated for additional corrosion protection. Type 410 stainless steel does not provide the same level of corrosion resistance as Type 305 or Type 316 stainless steel, making proper application important.

Application

Use these self-drilling wafer-head screws to attach plywood and OSB panels to steel studs where a screw capable of drilling into the steel substrate is required.

Important Application Warning

Hardened stainless-steel fasteners should not be used with steel framing in environments where high humidity, condensation, or other moisture may be present at the dissimilar-metal interface. Type 410 stainless steel offers less corrosion resistance than Type 305 or Type 316 stainless steel, so select the fastener grade according to the environmental conditions of the application.
