Frequently Asked Questions
What is the specific thread pitch for this screw?
The thread pitch is 20 threads per inch (TPI).
What is the advantage of a pan head design?
The pan head offers a wider bearing surface compared to a round or flat head, which helps to distribute load and prevent pull-through in softer materials.
