Metal SDS Flanged Hex Head 12-14 x 20 to 45mm: Performance Data

Hobson's three-page performance data sheet for the metal SDS flanged hex head screw, part prefix T9PM9FH1214. 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.

  • 12 gauge, 14 TPI, lengths 20, 25, 30, 35 and 45mm, flanged hex head 14mm across with a 5/16 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, hinges into metal posts, gates and doors, wall cladding, sheds, fencing and gates, and stitching roof flashing.
  • Working pullout load: 560N in G2 steel 1.1mm, 1,850N in G450 1.9mm and 3,840N in G450 3.8mm. The 2.5 factor of safety for steel is already included; the 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 18kg load at 2,200 RPM it drills 1.9mm G450 plate in no more than 3 seconds on average (3.5 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.
