Self-Drilling Structural Screws
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Dril-Flex Structural Drill Screws are dual heat treated self-drilling tapping screws that provide the
strength, ductility and resistance to embrittlement required for critical applications.
GENERAL APPLICATIONS AND USES
Steel-to-steel connections
Aluminum-to-steel connections
Aluminum-to-aluminum connections
Wood-to-steel connections
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
+ High-hardness point and lead threads for drilling and tapping
+ Lower-hardness load bearing area provides increased resistance to Hydrogen-Assisted Stress
Corrosion Cracking when compared to case hardened fasteners
+ Stalgard and Stalgard SUB Coatings provide enhanced galvanic compatibility in dissimilar metal
applications
+ Fasteners coated with Stalgard SUB finish typically show no red rust or other base metal
corrosion on significant surfaces after 2000 hours of 5% neutral salt spray exposure
(per ASTM B117)
