ISO 15480 Hex Head Self-Tapping Screw with Drill Point

The ISO 15480 hex head self-tapping screw with drill point is convenient to use when there is no way to prepare a hole for fastener installation, and no driving tool is at hand other than a wrench. The hex head of the fastener sits on a pressed washer. This part increases the fastener’s bearing surface, protects the working surface from damage, and gives the fastening joint a finished appearance.

Quality characteristics and application of drill-point self-tapping screws

The ISO 15480 self-tapping screw is manufactured from the following types of metal:

• zinc-plated carbon steel;
• carbon steel without anti-corrosion coating;
• stainless steel alloys resistant to corrosion and requiring no special protection.

The main application of ISO 15480 self-tapping screws with hex head and drill point is construction. The fastener is used for fastening sheet structural and finishing materials of various hardness, including thin metal. The fastener heads can serve not only a functional purpose but also a decorative role. Uncoated steel products are intended for painting on the construction site or are sold already painted in colors according to the RAL color system.

During installation, there is no need to pre-drill holes. The ISO 15480 self-tapping screw with a drill point at the end handles this task on its own, without distorting the surface quality. In addition to the construction industry, this type of self-tapping screw is widely used by home craftsmen for household tasks.
