Description

APC HC0036 Long Track Screw, #12 x 3.00″ OHPHS SMS, Stainless

The APC HC0036 Long Track Screw is engineered to provide exceptional durability, stability, and long-term performance for a wide range of fastening applications across industrial, commercial, and residential environments. Measuring #12 in diameter and 3 inches in length, this screw offers an ideal balance of strength and usability, allowing it to securely fasten components that require a longer thread engagement and greater holding power. Whether used for mounting tracks, brackets, metal panels, or structural components, this screw is crafted to deliver a dependable fastening solution in demanding conditions.

Built from high-quality stainless steel, the HC0036 provides outstanding resistance to corrosion, oxidation, moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. Stainless steel fasteners are highly valued for their longevity, especially in outdoor installations or environments where exposure to humidity, rain, or corrosive agents is likely. This corrosion-resistant composition ensures that the screw maintains structural integrity even after years of service, making it an excellent choice for marine environments, construction sites, HVAC installations, agricultural machinery, and general utility applications.

The screw features an OHPHS (Oval Head Phillips) design, offering a professional finish while enabling smooth installation. The oval head shape provides a slightly rounded top surface that sits subtly above the material once fully installed. This makes it suitable for applications where the screw head remains visible, delivering a clean, finished appearance. The Phillips drive is designed for compatibility with common screwdrivers and power tools, ensuring easy engagement and reducing cam-out during installation. This combination of head shape and drive style ensures both aesthetics and functional reliability.

As an SMS (Sheet Metal Screw), the HC0036 is constructed to cut through thin metals, plastics, composite materials, and wood with efficiency. The sharp threads are capable of tapping into material upon insertion, eliminating the need for pre-drilling in many cases. This self-tapping capability increases convenience and reduces labor time, especially in environments where productivity is a priority.

With its 3.00-inch length, this screw is ideal for deep fastening applications or scenarios that require penetrating multiple layers of material. It is commonly used for applications such as installing long tracks, mounting systems, equipment rails, metal framing, door hardware, electrical trays, and other structural supports. The added length ensures maximum engagement and stability, reducing the risk of pull-out or fastening failure. This makes it extremely reliable for high-load bearing applications where strength and safety are critical.

Automatic Pool Covers, Inc. took its first steps into the industry in 1979 as a small pool cover distributor. They continued to grow exponentially into the millennium, becoming a leader of the cover distributor industry. As continued to grow, they began to use their vast knowledge of the industry to develop and experiment with their own designs with the hope of making the most efficient, convenient and sturdy product.
