This 5.5 x 80mm hex head self-drilling screw is manufactured to DIN 7504-K in A2 stainless steel (304 grade). DIN 7504-K specifies a hex washer head self-drilling screw with a drill point, drilling, tapping, and fixing in a single operation. The drill point cuts its own hole before the thread engages, and the hex washer head takes a nut driver, allowing high torque and a wide bearing face against sheet material.

Typical applications

  • Roofing, cladding, and profiled sheet fixing
  • Purlins, rails, and light steel sections
  • Ducting and building services
  • Site fixing where pre-drilling is impractical

How do I choose between A2 and A4 stainless steel?

A2 (304) stainless steel suits most indoor, outdoor and workshop jobs. Choose A4 (316) marine grade for coastal, marine, poolside or other chloride-rich environments.

How do I make sure I order the right size?

Check the size in the product title and the standard, material and dimensions in the Product Specification tab. In M8 x 30, M8 is the thread diameter and 30 is the length in millimetres. See our size guide if you need more help.
