Longze Wafer Head Self-Drilling Screws, also recognized as Modified Truss Head Screws, are engineered for high-precision fastening across demanding industrial environments. Manufactured in strict accordance with DIN 7504, ISO 15480, and ASME B18.6.4 standards, these fasteners are the ideal solution for metal-to-metal framing, HVAC ductwork, and electrical box mounting where stability and a low-profile finish are critical.
By integrating an ultra-wide bearing surface with a high-performance drill-point tip, Longze screws eliminate the need for pre-drilling. This innovative design prevents material pull-through in thin-gauge substrates while ensuring a rapid, single-operation installation that significantly reduces labor costs and assembly time in large-scale construction and automotive projects.

Key Advantages
Anti-Pull-Through Design
The extra-wide wafer head distributes clamping force over a larger area, preventing deformation of thin-gauge metal and vinyl siding.
High-Speed Installation
Precision engineered drill points penetrate cold-rolled steel and aluminum in seconds, eliminating separate pilot holes.
Low-Profile Aesthetic
A thin, flat-topped head provides a professional, sleek finish that does not interfere with secondary layers or moving parts.
Superior Drive Torque
Deep Phillips #2 or Torx recesses ensure maximum driver engagement and prevent cam-out and surface scratching.
Diverse Coating Options
From Zinc Plating for indoor use to Ruspert for outdoor cladding, we provide specialized corrosion resistance for every environment.
Industrial Compliance
ISO 9001 certified production ensuring every batch meets strict torsional strength and drilling time benchmarks.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Wafer Head is significantly thinner and flatter than a standard Truss Head. This makes it the superior choice for applications requiring a flush-mount feel without the need for a countersunk hole.
Yes, they can be used, but ensure the wood thickness does not exceed the drill point length. For very thick wood-to-metal applications, we recommend our specialized "Wing-Tip" screws to prevent clogging.
We recommend a power driver speed between 1,500 and 2,500 RPM. Excessively high speeds may burn out the drill point before it fully penetrates the metal substrate.
For outdoor HVAC and cladding, Ruspert ceramic coating is highly recommended as it provides salt spray resistance between 500 to 1000 hours, significantly outperforming standard zinc plating.
Ensure the drill point length is greater than the total thickness of the materials being joined. Reduce pressure once the threads engage to avoid over-tightening and stripping the hole.
