Self-Tapping Screw – Pan Head

About Pan Head Self-Tapping Screws

Pan head self-tapping screws are commonly used for metal-to-metal fixing where a raised head and increased bearing surface are preferred. The rounded pan head sits on the surface of the metal, providing reliable clamping without the need for a flush finish.

These screws are installed using a pre-drilled pilot hole, allowing the self-tapping thread to form accurately in metal. This controlled installation method helps deliver consistent results and reduces stress during fitting.

Pan head self-tapping screws are widely used across construction, fabrication and maintenance work where holding strength and reliability are more important than appearance.

Pan Head Screws for Metal Applications

The wider head profile makes pan head self-tapping screws a practical choice for applications where additional surface contact is needed.

They’re commonly used for:

• Fixing thin sheet metal
• Brackets and metal plates
• Electrical containment and enclosures
• Light steel sections and frames
• General site and maintenance work

The pan head design helps provide secure clamping, particularly where vibration or movement may be present.

Available Finishes

This category includes pan head self-tapping screws in two finish options, making it easier to choose the right fixing for the environment:

• Zinc plated pan head self-tapping screws – suited to dry, internal applications where a cost-effective fixing is required.
• Stainless steel pan head self-tapping screws – suitable for external use or damp environments where corrosion resistance is essential.

Each option offers the same practical head design, with the finish selected based on where the screw will be used.
