Description

APC Track Screw, #12 x 1.75″ OHPHS SMS, SS

The APC Track Screw Stainless Steel is a premium-grade fastening solution engineered for applications that require high strength, long-term durability, and exceptional corrosion resistance. Designed with precision, this screw is commonly used in track installations, metal framing, fixture mounting, and various structural or mechanical assemblies where reliability cannot be compromised. The stainless-steel construction plays a critical role in delivering dependable performance in both indoor and outdoor environments, making the screw suitable for commercial, residential, and industrial installations.

At its core, this screw features a #12 diameter, a popular and robust gauge that provides excellent gripping strength and stability once installed. Combined with a 1.75-inch length, the screw is ideal for fastening through medium to thick materials, including wood, thin metal sheets, aluminum tracks, composite materials, and plastic components. This length ensures adequate penetration without excessive protrusion, maintaining structural integrity while supporting secure attachment.

One of the defining characteristics of this screw is its OHPHS (Oval Head Phillips) head design. The oval head offers a clean, slightly rounded surface that provides a more finished and refined appearance compared to flat-head counterparts. This makes it highly suitable for visible installations, where appearance matters just as much as performance. The Phillips drive ensures easy engagement with standard tools, promoting efficient installation with reduced cam-out. Contractors, technicians, and installers appreciate this design for its compatibility with common driver bits and its ability to maintain steady torque transfer, even under challenging working conditions.

Engineered as an SMS (Sheet Metal Screw), this fastener is crafted to create strong threads in metal surfaces while still offering versatility for use with wood, plastic, fiberglass, and other rigid materials. The sharp, precision-cut threads allow the screw to cut through material cleanly, minimizing splitting, reducing installation resistance, and improving holding power.

The stainless steel composition significantly elevates the screw’s performance capabilities. Stainless steel is inherently resistant to rust, oxidation, and chemical exposure, making it ideal for harsh environments, moisture-prone areas, and locations where long-term reliability is crucial. Whether used in coastal settings, outdoor structures, industrial machinery, or interior applications prone to humidity, the screw maintains structural integrity over time.

During installation, the screw’s uniform threading, sharp point, and high-strength steel help ensure smooth penetration and stable drive performance. It is compatible with a wide variety of substrates, offering installers significant flexibility. For metal tracks, framing rails, or equipment mounting channels, the screw provides consistent and dependable anchoring.

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.
