Overview

The NSi Industries DS179M is a #14 x 2" (5/16" head diameter) hex washer slot tapping screw with zinc plating for corrosion resistance.

Manufactured in the USA by NSi Industries, this tapping screw meets rigorous industry standards for quality and performance. Ideal for industrial machinery, automotive components, construction projects, and general fabrication where reliable, long-lasting fastening is required. The #14 thread size and 2" length provide versatility across multiple applications while maintaining structural integrity.
