Product Summary

Largo Hexagonal Flange Self-Tapping Screws (commonly known as Sheet Metal Screws or Flange Tappers) are high-efficiency fasteners manufactured to DIN 6928, ISO 1479, y ASME B18.6.3 standards.

These Largo Hexagonal Flange Self-Tapping Screws feature an integrated circular flange head and sharp, hardened threads designed to cut their own mating threads in pre-drilled holes. They provide a

high-clamping force and a large bearing surface, making them the primary choice for securing thin metal sheets, HVAC ducting, and automotive panels.

• ✔ Integrated Washer Design: The built-in flange eliminates the need for separate flat washers, distributing load evenly and preventing the screw head from pulling through thin materials.

•  

• ✔ High-Torque Hex Drive: The external hexagonal head allows for maximum torque application with power drivers, ensuring a secure and rapid installation in industrial assembly lines.

•  

• ✔ Self-Thread Forming: Precision-engineered sharp threads create a tight, vibration-resistant fit by forming a custom thread path in metal, plastic, or wood substrates.

Product Highlight: Engineered for high-torque applications, Largo flange self-tapping screws provide a high-strength, superior alternative to standard screws in heavy-duty sheet metal environments.

 

• Case-Hardened Steel – Heat-treated to a high surface hardness, ensuring the threads can successfully cut through structural steel and aluminum without deforming.

•  

• Leak-Resistant Sealing – The wide flange provides an excellent surface for adding EPDM bonded washers if a water-tight seal is required for roofing or outdoor enclosures.

•  

• Stable Power Driving – The hex head geometry provides a more stable connection to the driver bit than Phillips or Slotted drives, reducing "cam-out" and worker fatigue.

Technical Standard: Manufactured to strict international tolerances, ensuring 100% compatibility with standard driver bits and pre-drilled holes across all property classes.
