Self Piercing Screws are also commonly called:
Needlepoint screws: (zip screws) are very popular with the HVAC and the gutter industry. 8x1 ½ or 8x2 Hex Washer Head Zip Screws painted white are frequently purchased for the registers. The gutter industry uses mainly painted 8x1/2 hex washer head needlepoints although copper plated stainless steel screws are becoming much more popular and we are one of the few companies supplying them!
Self Tapping: Needlepoint screws, also commonly known as zip screws, are self-tapping in that they tap their own threads. They are also sometimes referred to as self-piercing screws because they will ‘self start’ with soft metals when pressure is applied. #8 x1/2 Hex Washer Head Needlepoint screws (zip screws) have reportedly worked best when used in square duct with 30 and 28 gauge metals. Contractors state that they have better luck with #7 needlepoints when doing round pipe with 24 and 26 gauge metals. Application is very important when choosing which fastener to use in your particular job, otherwise, the screws may not perform in the way that they were expected. Many screw ‘failures’ are actually misapplications. Although some say that they have been able to use #7 zip screws in up to 20 gauge metals, it has been our experience that when working with metal 22 gauges and thicker, drill bit tip (tek screw type) really does the job much easier.
