Description
Overview:
The Timco Hex Self-Drilling Screw 5.5 x 32 mm (pack of 100, code 903 2021) is a steel fastener designed for fixing sheet materials and panels to light section steel up to 5 mm thick. A hexagon head allows positive driving with a nut setter, while the self-drilling tip creates its own hole and thread in thin-gauge steel, removing the need for pilot drilling. This saves time and reduces bit changes on site. Suited to roofing, cladding and general fabrication, these screws work well with drill drivers and impact drivers. The 32 mm length offers a firm hold for common roofing and panel overlaps, and the robust construction provides dependable clamping in metal-to-metal applications.
Key Features:
- 5.5 mm diameter x 32 mm length for secure fixing in light section steel up to 5 mm thick
- Self-drilling tip cuts and taps in one operation, no pre-drilling required
- Hexagon head for controlled drive with a standard hex socket or nut setter
- Steel construction for strength and long service life
- Protective finish for improved resistance to corrosion in outdoor use
- Consistent drilling performance helps reduce installation time and effort
- Suitable for use with drill drivers and impact drivers
- Clean, reliable thread engagement for a tight clamp on roofing and panel overlaps
- Supplied in a pack of 100 for site and workshop jobs
Typical Applications:
Fixing metal roofing sheets and side cladding to light-gauge steel purlins, securing flashing and trims, assembling metal frames, ducting and brackets, attaching panels to steel sections in workshops, farm buildings and garages, and general light steel fabrication where a 5.5 mm self-driller is required.
