Overview

NSi Industries JDS157 is a high-quality self-piercing sheet metal screw engineered for efficient and secure fastening. This screw features a #8 diameter and a length of 1-1/2 inches, making it ideal for a variety of sheet metal applications. The indented hex head design, with a 1/4 inch head width, allows for a low-profile installation, which is particularly beneficial when working with thin metal where a flush finish is desired. Constructed from durable steel, the JDS157 is built to withstand demanding conditions. It is finished with a zinc chromate coating, providing excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. The slotted drive type ensures reliable torque transfer during installation, allowing for a secure and consistent fit. A key feature of the JDS157 is its self-piercing tip, which eliminates the need for pre-drilling in sheet metal up to 18 gauge, significantly speeding up the assembly process and reducing labor costs. Each pack contains 100 screws, making it a convenient and cost-effective choice for bulk industrial, automotive, and construction use. The UNSPSC code for this product is 31161506. This product is proudly Made in USA.
