Flanged Pan Head Self Tapping Screws
Flanged head self-tapping screws are available in a variety of sizes at great prices with bulk discounts available. Known as 'self-tappers', they are manufactured in both A2 stainless steel and bright zinc plated (BZP). Both of these self-tapping metal screws offer certain levels of corrosion resistance. The A2 stainless steel varieties offer a more robust resistance to corrosion and are more adapted for external use long term.
