8G x 1/2 (13mm) SS Phillips Pan S/Tap Screw x 1000 - Satin Stainless Steel

The 8G x 1/2" (13mm) Stainless Steel Phillips Pan Head Self-Tapping Screw is a commercial-grade trade fastener supplied as a bulk trade box containing 1,000 pieces. Each screw measures 8 Gauge (approximately 4.2mm shank diameter) by a compact 1/2 inch (13mm) in total operational length. The short length is ideal for securing hardware components into hollow metal sections without risking deep over-penetration or hitting internal glass pockets. The screws feature a standard Phillips cross-recess drive, a universal drive style that ensures easy installation on site using standard Phillips screwdriver bits or power drivers. The pan head style provides a classic low-profile round head with a flat underside bearing surface, allowing the screw to sit flat against hardware plates and distribute clamping pressure evenly without distorting or countersinking into the metal fixture. Forged from high-grade architectural Stainless Steel (typically Grade 304/A2), the screws are finished in a clean, non-reflective Satin Stainless Steel look to resist rust, oxidation, and coastal atmospheric corrosion over an extended lifespan. The sharp self-tapping point automatically taps its own matching threads when driven into pre-drilled pilot holes in aluminium profiles, sheet metal panels, or hard plastics. These screws are commonly used to fasten lightweight commercial perimeter hardware such as woolpile tracks, weather seals, door stops, and small locator brackets, to secure thin sheet-metal trims, cover plates, and flashing within architectural storefront suites like Alspec commercial framing, and for general workshop joinery fabrication and on-site assembly.
