Product Description

Self-tapping screws for steel studs (Part J9893) are precision fasteners designed for secure installation of central vacuum system components into steel framing and metal studs. These screws cut their own thread as they're driven, eliminating the need for pre-drilled holes and ensuring fast, reliable assembly of ductwork, inlets, and mounting brackets.

Built for durability in metal-to-metal applications, these self-tapping screws provide superior holding power in steel studs, metal framing, and structural supports commonly found during central vacuum system installation. The design minimizes stripping and ensures consistent performance across multiple installations.

Part J9893 is a standard hardware component used across BEAM, Riccar, Lindhaus, Vacuflo, Intervac, and other central vacuum system installations for securing ductwork, tubing supports, and inlet valve housings to steel stud framing.
