Overview

The NSI Industries JDS86 is a #12-gauge, 2.5-inch indented hex washer tapping screw designed for secure fastening in metal, wood, and plastic applications. This zinc-plated steel screw features a 5/16-inch hex washer head with a slotted drive, enabling installation and removal with standard hex drivers or slotted screwdrivers. The indented design reduces head height while maintaining structural integrity, making it ideal for low-profile fastening where clearance is limited. The screw is optimized for thin materials requiring self-tapping threads, providing reliable holding power without pre-drilling in many cases. Zinc plating delivers corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor use, extending service life in exposed environments. Common applications include electrical panel assembly, HVAC ductwork, automotive trim mounting, and general construction where a secure, low-profile fastener is required. The JDS86 is part of NSI Industries' JDS series of indented hex head slotted tapping screws, available in both steel zinc and stainless steel variants for corrosion resistance in demanding conditions.
