Description

This tapping screw secures appliance panels and components where threads are formed in-place. It provides a fast, reliable hold for sheet metal and plastic mounting points during repairs or assembly. What it does:

• Cuts threads into sheet metal or molded plastic as it is driven, eliminating the need for pre-tapped holes
• Secures panels, brackets, or small components to the appliance chassis
• Commonly used where vibration resistance and a tight fit are needed
• Can resolve loose panels, rattling parts, or components that pull free from thin mounting surfaces

What's included:

• One tapping screw

Install notes:

• Use the matching driver bit and steady pressure; do not overtighten to avoid stripping or breaking the screw
• Start straight and drive at low speed to ensure proper thread formation
• Wear eye protection and disconnect power to the appliance before working on electrical areas
• Replace with the same screw type and size to ensure proper fit and safety
