FIX-EPC-2.5/GY is a self-tapping screw designed for joining sheet material and thin sections of metal, such as aluminum and painted steel, to create a strong mechanical connection. This threaded screw features a Phillips head drive, an unthreaded pilot tip, and a zinc plated finish that helps to resist corrosion. Although a drill bit is not necessary when installing these screws, it is recommended. Drill bits should match the size and type of screw being used. This versatile screw is recommended for many applications, such as automotive, sheet metal, construction, and wood assembly or repairs.
