Marine Fasteners Phillips Oval Head Self-Tapping Screws

Marine Fasteners Phillips oval head self-tapping screws, also called oval head sheet metal screws or tapping screws, are made for general fastening and for mounting hardware and accessories. They suit marine, RV, powersports and general repair work where a clean, finished look matters.

Key Features:

• Phillips drive: works with standard Phillips screwdrivers and bits, so installation is simple.
• Oval head: a slightly rounded top sits above the surface for a finished look. It also avoids the snag a flat head can leave when it isn't fully countersunk.
• Self-tapping design: deep threads run up the shank and cut or form their own threads as the screw is driven. This gives secure holding in compatible materials such as sheet metal, wood and laminates.
• Trim and hardware mounting: a good choice for trim, brackets, fittings and panels, especially where appearance is a factor.

Pilot holes are typically used for best results. They help the screw start cleanly and hold securely. This product line is available in multiple sizes, so you can choose the right one for your project.
