Meet the Malco BT131G Bit-Tip Self-Drilling and Tapping Screws—the go-to solution for fast, reliable metal assemblies in HVAC, structural, and layered metal applications. Designed to drill its own hole, these screws create the optimum hole size for perfect thread engagement, delivering a tight, secure fit in a single operation.
- One-step fastening for speed and precision: Bit-Tip drills, taps, and drives in one motion, eliminating misalignment and the need for separate drilling, tapping, and fastening steps.
- Industrial-grade reliability: Made from strong, heat-treated steel and precision cold-forged for uniform dimensions and drill-point contours, ensuring consistent performance across every screw in the 100‑piece bag.
- Versatile head and size: Features a 1/4" hex washer head for broad compatibility with common screw guns, plus a #2 point with 8-18 thread and 1/2" length to cover a wide range of sheet metal thicknesses.
- HVAC-ready and structural capable: Specifically well-suited for HVAC fasteners, as well as fastening plywood, soft wood, composition board, drywall, insulation, and laminates to metal framing or components.
- No extra equipment needed: Replaces rivets, nuts and bolts, spot welds, and adhesives in many fastening operations, reducing tool inventory and setup time.
- Easy setup and operation: Use with a standard screw gun rated up to 2500 RPM and a drilling depth locator to control insertion depth, ensuring clean, repeatable results.
The BT131G is perfect for installers and fabricators who demand fast, dependable metal-to-metal and metal-to-wood connections. Its Bit-Tip design ensures the hole is correctly sized for strong thread engagement every time, so assemblies stay tight through vibration, temperature changes, and load shifts typical in HVAC and structural settings.
Key use cases
- Installing ductwork and metal framing in HVAC projects where quick, reliable fastening reduces labor time.
- Attaching insulation, drywall, or laminates to metal studs or framing without pre-drilling or separate tapping operations.
- Securing layered metal assemblies where uniform thread engagement and strong pull-out resistance are critical.
What’s in the package: 100‑piece bag of Malco BT131G Bit-Tip Drill and Tap Screws, ready to tackle multiple jobs from field installations to shop fabrication.
