In the realm of construction and woodworking, each screw has its unique properties and applications. Among these, type 17 screws have distinguished themselves through their specific design features and versatile uses.

What are Type 17 Screws?

Type 17 screws are a type of self-tapping screw with a sharp, pointed tip and a fluted screw shank. This makes them ideal for use in hard materials, such as hardwoods and metal. Type 17 screws are also known for their ability to prevent wood splitting, making them a good choice for applications where close-to-edge fastening is required.

The sharp point of these screws facilitates fast insertion and self-centering starts, making type 17 screws ideally suited for use with power drivers, streamlining a typically time-consuming installation process.

Applications of Type 17 Screws

What sets type 17 screws apart is their versatility. Despite their wood-centric design, their sharp points can pierce thin steel sheeting without pre-drilling. Their varied applications include:

  • Woodworking tasks, particularly those involving close-to-edge work.
  • Fixing roofing and cladding sheets, a frequent use for type 17 points.
  • Attaching thin steel sheeting without the need for pre-drilling.

There are several compelling reasons for the popularity of type 17 screws in professional and DIY toolkits. The benefits they offer include:

  • Reduced likelihood of wood splitting, courtesy of their unique design.
  • Rapid, self-centering insertion, making them time-efficient.
  • Versatility across different materials, from wood to thin steel sheeting.

Please provide the specifications and quantity of the screws you need. Specifications should include material, surface treatment, head type, driver type, thread type, point type, and dimensions (Metric, Imperial, US).

The MOQ varies depending on the material. As a professional screw manufacturer, our MOQ is 50,000 pieces for stainless steel and 100,000 pieces for carbon steel. This requirement, which may seem high to some customers, is designed to ensure product quality, cost-effectiveness, production efficiency, and shipping efficiency, and to pass on price benefits to customers. For special-purpose screws or orders with a high total quantity, we also support a lower MOQ, making cooperation very convenient.

Carbon steel screws will rust when exposed to moisture unless they are coated with an anti-rust coating or made of stainless steel. However, if the anti-rust coating is worn or chipped due to external factors, thereby reducing its anti-rust strength, rust may occur under the coating. Stainless steel screws are the most resistant to rust and corrosion. Although they are more expensive, their rust resistance is not easily reduced because the entire structure of the screw is stainless steel.

Our products are certified by ISO 9001, which is an international standard for quality management systems. This certification ensures that we adhere to best practices for producing high-quality products that meet our customers’ expectations and requirements.

Some of our products also have CE certification, which is a mark that indicates conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area. Please contact us for CE-certified products.
