Self Tapping Screws - Pozidrive Flange Head - Type AB - BZP

We stock two different point options for our pozidrive flange head self tapping screws, these are classified as Type AB and Type B.

Type AB has a sharp point on the end (sometimes called a gimlet point) and is commonly used with brittle materials and thin sheet metals. Type AB is the most common type of self tapper for general use.

Type B self tappers are flat and blunt on the end and are commonly used with light and heavy sheet metals (.050 to .200 thick), plastics, plywood and other similar materials. They are also safer to use where the presence of a sharp point is not advisable, i.e. where manual labour is used in large scale factory processing. Our type B self tappers with flange heads are only available in 2 size options.

A BZP or bright zinc plated fastener is one that has a thin coating of zinc added during production. This protective coating adds durability by protecting the product against rust or oxidisation.

Pozidrive flange head self tappers have a lower profile round head – essentially a slightly flattened round head. They are popular in applications where a large clamping area is needed with an obstructive head.
