Description
Overview:
Timco Self Tapper / Tapping Screws, Pan Head, are versatile fasteners for sheet metal, plastics and timber fixings on tools, equipment and site installations. Made from steel with a bright zinc-plated finish, they resist rust in indoor and sheltered outdoor use. The Pozidriv pan head offers a broad bearing surface and positive drive, while the Type AB point starts quickly in thin metal and timber. Sized No. 8 (approx. 4.2 mm diameter) and 1/2" (12.7 mm) long, they suit compact fixings where a short bite is needed, such as brackets, guards and trims. Supplied in a bulk pack of 1000 for workshop, engineering and maintenance tasks. Brand: Timco. Typical driver bit: PZ2. Manufacturer Part Number: 00812CPAZ.
