#8-15 x 1 Self Tapping Screws are a type of sheet metal screw commonly used in a variety of applications. These screws are specifically designed for use in thin sheet metal, such as ductwork or roofing, and are ideal for attaching lightweight materials to metal surfaces. The Type A designation means that these screws have a sharp point and a wide, coarse thread that allows them to cut through the metal without the need for a pre-drilled hole. This makes them quick and easy to install, especially in hard-to-reach areas. Made from steel and coated in zinc, these screws are durable and resistant to rust and corrosion, making them ideal for use in outdoor or high-moisture environments. The pan head design provides a low-profile, finished appearance and distributes the load over a wider area, reducing the risk of damage to the surface being attached. These self-tapping screws also feature a combo drive, which means they can be installed using either a Phillips or slotted screwdriver. This provides flexibility and convenience when working with different types of tools and makes them suitable for a range of DIY or professional applications. Overall, #8-15 x 1 Self Tapping Screws are a versatile and reliable option for fastening materials to sheet metal surfaces.
