SS Slotted Pan Head Self Tapping Screw:8g - 4.2 x 13 - DIN 7971/A2

This slotted pan head self-tapping screw is manufactured from stainless steel and conforms to the DIN 7971 standard for sheet metal fastening. Rated to the A2 property class, it offers balanced corrosion resistance suitable for indoor or mild outdoor environments where mild steel screws would rust. The pan head design provides a low-profile finish that blends into the surrounding material, while the slotted drive allows for standard screwdriver installation. Select this fastener based on the required 4.2mm nominal diameter and 13mm nominal length, ensuring compatibility with the 8-gauge thread specification. Buyers typically choose this stainless steel option over carbon steel alternatives to prevent rust staining and ensure longer service life in damp conditions. The A2 grade is appropriate for general fabrication work, providing a reliable balance between strength and material cost.
