Self-tapping screw ShSMM

Self-tapping screw ShSMM (metal-to-metal self-tapping screw) is a fastener for joining structures of small thickness, such as plasterboard or false panels. Pre-drilling of a hole is not required.

The self-tapping screw is a rod with a thread and a head. The reinforced tip cuts through the plasterboard and secures it to the metal profile.

ShSMM self-tapping screws are made of heat-treated steel. The diameter of most products is 4.2 mm, length is 13–75 mm.

How to use

If the thickness of the metal profile does not exceed 0.6 mm, installation is performed without pre-drilling — with a screwdriver or power driver. For driving the self-tapping screw into metal up to 6 mm thick, the hole must be pre-drilled.

The hardware is supplied in packs of one hundred pieces and in bulk industrial packaging.
