BDX Metal SDS Flanged Hex Head 14-20 x 22 to 45mm: Performance Data

Hobson's three-page performance data sheet for the BDX metal SDS flanged hex head screw with the finer 20 TPI thread, part prefix T9PM9FH1420. It covers sizes, pullout values, mechanical properties, a drill point test and installation.

What this covers

  • Applications
  • Material and finish
  • Sizes and dimensions
  • Pullout values
  • Mechanical properties
  • Drill point test
  • Installation

For Tek Screws (Self-Drilling Metal Screws).

Key things to remember

The essentials from this document in plain words. Check the full document before you rely on a figure.

  • 14 gauge, 20 TPI, lengths 22, 25 and 45mm, flanged hex head 15mm across with a 3/8 inch drive.
  • C1022 hardened steel with the X9 ProteXion coating, which the sheet rates as suitable for ISO 9223 category 4 environments.
  • Uses: metal to metal fixing, wall cladding, sheds, fencing and gates, signs, hinges into metal posts, gates and doors, and stitching flashing.
  • Working pullout load: 300N in G2 steel 0.8mm, 1,650N in G450 2.0mm and 2,850N in G450 2.5mm. The 2.5 factor of safety for steel is already included; the mean and characteristic loads beside them are test values. All values come from laboratory tests, and real pullout can differ with the base material.
  • Drill point test: under a 24kg load at 2,200 RPM it drills 2.5mm G450 plate in no more than 5 seconds on average (6 seconds at most for any one screw).
  • Drive with a cordless screw gun at 2,200 to 3,000 RPM using a hex drive bit, with firm, steady pressure, and do not over-tighten. Impact drivers are not recommended.

Who it helps: Builders, fabricators and roofers choosing a self-drilling screw for steel, and staff checking sizes or pullout figures.
