Self-Drilling Tip: Like other Tek screws, wafer head Tek screws feature a self-drilling tip that allows them to penetrate metal, wood, or other materials without the need for pre-drilling pilot holes.
Threaded Shaft: Wafer head Tek screws have threads that run along the length of the shaft, providing strong and secure fastening when driven into the material.
Wafer Head: The distinctive feature of wafer head Tek screws is their flat, disk-like head. This wafer-shaped head provides a low-profile appearance and sits flush with the surface of the material when driven in, minimizing protrusion and creating a clean finish.
Head Types: Wafer head Tek screws typically come in various head types, including hex head and Phillips head, among others. The choice of head type depends on the specific application and desired appearance.
Materials: Wafer head Tek screws are commonly made from hardened steel, stainless steel, or other materials with high strength and corrosion resistance. They may also be coated or plated with zinc, nickel, or other finishes to enhance durability and prevent corrosion.
Applications: Wafer head Tek screws are used in a variety of applications where a low-profile, flush finish is desired, such as attaching thin materials, metal roofing, HVAC ductwork, and other construction projects where appearance and clearance are important considerations.
