SELF TAPPING SCREWS STAINLESS STEEL 316 PHILLIPS PAN HEAD

Self-tapping screws made from 316 stainless steel with a phillips pan head are durable, highly corrosion-resistant fasteners ideal for marine and general construction applications. They are designed to cut their own threads in softer materials like wood, plastic, and thin sheet metal. 

Key Features and Specifications
Material: Made from Grade 316 (A4) stainless steel, also known as marine grade, which offers superior resistance to rust and corrosion, especially in harsh environments.
Head Type: The pan head design provides a broad bearing surface and a clean, low-profile appearance that does not require countersinking.
Drive Type: Features a Phillips cross-recessed drive system, which is widely compatible with standard tools.
Thread: These screws have an optimum thread cutting profile with a coarse tapping thread for rapid installation and a secure hold.
Point: They typically feature a self-piercing Type AB hardened point for fast insertion and a self-centered start. 

Applications and Performance
These versatile screws are a popular choice for professionals and DIY enthusiasts due to their balance of strength and extreme corrosion resistance. 
Applications:
Marine and Coastal Use: Their primary advantage is performance in saltwater and other corrosive environments.
Construction and Carpentry: Used for general-purpose repairs, cabinetry, and attaching metal hardware to wood.
Metalworking: Designed to be driven into thin sheet metal, creating their own precisely fitted threads.
Other Uses: Suitable for HVAC systems, electrical installations, and furniture assembly.
