M4.2 M5.5 M6.3 Hex Flange Head Self-Drilling Screws, External Hex Washer Head Tek Screws, Stainless Steel 410 / Carbon Steel for Metal Roofing

Key Advantages:

  • One-Step Installation:​ Drills, taps, and fastens in a single operation. Saves labor costs and installation time.
  • Integrated Flange (Washer):​ Provides a larger bearing surface, preventing pull-through and creating a tight seal with the EPDM rubber washer.
  • Superior Material:​ Available in 410 Stainless Steel​ (combines hardness for drilling with rust resistance) and C1022A Carbon Steel​ with anti-corrosion coatings.
  • High Torsion Resistance:​ The external hex drive allows for high torque application using a standard socket or impact wrench.

Description

Our Hex Flange Head Self-Drilling Screws, commonly known as Tek Screws, are designed to provide a fast and secure fastening solution without the need for pre-drilling. Featuring a sharp self-drilling point that acts like a drill bit, these screws can penetrate metal, steel, and aluminum in seconds. The integrated flange head acts as a built-in washer, distributing clamping force and sealing against water intrusion.

Coating & Corrosion Resistance Guide

Choosing the right coating is vital for longevity. We offer various treatments to meet different environmental demands:

Coating Type Salt Spray Test (Hours) Best Application Scenario
Ruspert (Silver/Blue)​ 500 – 1000 hrs Coastal areas, high humidity, outdoor structures
Dacromet (Zinc Flake)​ 300 – 500 hrs Automotive parts, heavy industry, high temperature
Zinc Plated (White/Yellow)​ 24 – 48 hrs Indoor dry environments, general hardware
Mechanical Galvanized​ 200 – 300 hrs Construction sites, mild outdoor exposure

Point Type Selection (Tek Point Guide)

Select the correct point based on the steel thickness you need to penetrate:

Point Code Point Diameter Max Drilling Thickness Recommended Use
Tek #3​ 5.5mm Up to 6mm Steel Thin gauge metal roofing, purlins
Tek #4​ 6.3mm Up to 12mm Steel Structural steel, thick channels, solar mounts
Tek #5​ 6.3mm Up to 16mm Steel Heavy-duty steel frames, thick brackets
