Solar Mounting Stainless Steel Self Tapping Screw

Zinc plated and passivated hardened steel Self-drilling screws have various names. They're often called metal screws, sheet metal screws,tapping screws,or tapper screws. Self-tapping screws are good for use with metals,various types of plastics(plywood, fiberglass,polycarbonates),and cast or forged material, like iron,aluminum sections,attaching metal brackets onto wood

On the other hand, the length of screw can be customized according to the thickness of installation place.

Advantages:

1、Drilling, thread-forming and fastening in one step

2、Connect components in one step

3、Reduces assembly times

4、Save tool changes and drilling tool costs

In the solar mounting system, either in L foot, tile hook, trapezoidal roof hook, or rail joiner in ground mount, there is the self-tapping screw, some choose DACROMET carbon steel screw, some choose SUS410 screw, some use bi-metal hybrid screw.

Solar Mounting Stainless Steel Self Tapping Screw drill their own little tunnels by cutting precise threads when they are screwed into wood, plastic or metal. It’s helpful to use self-tapping screws for products that you need to maintain regularly such as air-conditioning units or canopies where you need to dissemble and reassemble the item along the same threads. You can insert self-tapping screws with either a hand-held or electric screwdriver.

Before you use Solar Mounting Stainless Steel Self Tapping Screw  it’s helpful, although not mandatory, to drill a pilot hole through the material. This ensures the screw will go in easily and will be positioned correctly. Make sure to use a smaller drill bit than the self-tapping screw itself when drilling the pilot hole. Otherwise, if the hole is too large, the screw threads won’t have anything to attach to. Then position the screw straight and screw it in place with a flat head or Phillips screwdriver (depending on the screw head). If the screw goes in crooked, it could cause the head to strip. Next, tighten the screw until it no longer turns easily. Be careful not to over-tighten the screw because it could cause the threads to strip.

Solar Mounting Stainless Steel Self Tapping Screw come with a sharp, piercing tip or a flat, blunt tip. The sharp-tipped screws are designed for drilling their own hole into softer materials such as wood and plastic so they don’t need a pilot hole. The advantage of the flat-tipped screw is that it won’t get stuck in the material and break off. When you’re drilling into harder material such as sheet metal you need to drill a pilot hole in advance. For thicker metal, it may require more than one screw to drill through the surface. To save time and labor, you can use self-drilling self-tapping screws to drill into metal.

For wood and steel, there are different tips.
