The SFS FS3-14 Flex5 is a premium self-drilling screw engineered for light- and medium-gauge metal connections where high clamp load, exceptional ductility, and long-term corrosion protection are required. Manufactured from alloy steel and selectively heat treated, the load-bearing portion of the fastener meets Grade 5 specifications while the drill point and lead-in threads are hardened for fast, efficient drilling performance.

The SD3 self-drilling point eliminates pre-drilling in many metal applications, helping reduce installation time while maintaining outstanding holding strength. The proprietary VistaCorr coating provides up to 1,000 hours of corrosion resistance while improving installation performance and finished appearance. Flex5 technology delivers low driving torque, reduced thread engagement torque, and increased ductility to help resist hydrogen embrittlement while maximizing clamp load.
