Wafer Head Self Drilling Screws

The wafer head self-drilling screw is a general metal fastener with a low-profile wafer head, made for fixing metal deck, clips and electrical fittings. The self-drilling point cuts its own hole in light steel, and the No. 2 Phillips recess drives cleanly with a standard Phillips bit. The low head profile keeps the fixing neat where a protruding head would interfere.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a wafer head screw for?

The wafer head is a low-profile head that sits close to the surface, which makes it the right pick for metal deck, clips and electrical fittings where a protruding hex or pan head would interfere.

Does it need a pilot hole?

No. The self-drilling point cuts its own hole in light gauge steel, so you can drive straight in with a driver and a No. 2 Phillips bit.

What steel thickness can it handle?

The self-drilling point suits the light gauge steel used in decking, clips and fittings. For heavier structural steel, use a heavier drill point screw or pre-drill.

What drive does it take?

It takes a No. 2 Phillips driver bit, the standard Phillips size on a cordless drill driver. Use a sharp bit and moderate speed for a clean drive.
