Overview

The Minerallac Company SKU 79440 is a 1/4-14 x 2-1/2 inch Hex Washer Head Tek Screw. Constructed from durable zinc, these self-drilling screws eliminate the need for pre-drilling, streamlining installation. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface for secure fastening and prevents pull-through. Zinc plating offers moderate corrosion resistance, suitable for general construction and assembly. The 1/4-14 thread and 2-1/2 inch length are ideal for joining thicker materials or applications requiring extended reach. These Tek screws are a reliable choice for metal framing, ductwork, and light to medium-duty assembly tasks. Minerallac Company is a known producer of quality fasteners.
