        Clipsal | Self-Drilling Flattop Screws 10g x 16mm | Yellow Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel

        The Clipsal 357FLA10D16-500 is a self-drilling flattop screw sized 10g x 16mm, supplied 500 pieces to a box. The 357FLA10D16-500 carries a drill point tip and a self-tapping thread, so it cuts and threads its own hole in light-gauge steel without a pilot hole. The shank is carbon steel with a yellow zinc-plated surface treatment, and the head accepts either a Square Drive No. 1 (SQ1) or a Phillips No. 2 (PH2) bit.

        Fixing saddles, mounting blocks and brackets to steel framing stalls the moment a fastener needs a pilot hole drilled first. The drill point tip on the 357FLA10D16-500 bites straight into the section, so the drill and the driver stay the same tool through the run. At 16mm the screw lands short, which keeps the point from punching through thin sections, and the flat head sits down flush so a saddle or plate seats without rocking.

        A 500-piece box covers a full fit-off without a mid-job run back to the supplier, which is where a trade pack earns its keep on a domestic rewire or a commercial fit-out. The dual drive recess takes a square bit or a Phillips, so nobody stops to swap drivers between fixings. Yellow zinc plating holds its finish through dry interior work, and the flush head keeps the fixing looking tidy where it stays visible after handover.

        Features

        • Drill point tip — cuts its own hole in light-gauge steel, removing the pilot-hole step on the 357FLA10D16-500.
        • Self-tapping thread — forms its own thread as it drives, holding without a nut, insert or anchor.
        • 10g gauge shank — the standard trade gauge for fixing saddles, brackets and mounting hardware.
        • 16mm fixing length — short engagement suited to thin sections where a longer screw would protrude behind.
        • Flat head profile — sits flush with the surface so plates, saddles and trims seat without a raised bump.
        • 8.75mm head diameter — spreads clamping load across the fixing hole without adding a separate washer.
        • Dual drive recess — accepts a Square Drive No. 1 (SQ1) bit or a Phillips No. 2 (PH2) bit.
        • Carbon steel construction — hardened shank drives into steel sections under drill torque.
        • Yellow zinc plating — surface treatment applied over the carbon steel for interior corrosion resistance.
        • 500 per box — one box of the 357FLA10D16-500 covers a full fit-off or a stocked maintenance kit.
        • Halogen free — declared halogen free by Schneider Electric on the product datasheet.
        • Interior use only — the datasheet lists no outdoor or marine corrosion rating, so the 357FLA10D16-500 belongs in dry interior work.

        Where to use

        • Electrical fit-off work — fixing saddles, clips and cable supports to light-gauge steel framing on interior runs.
        • Mounting block and bracket fixing — the 357FLA10D16-500 pulls mounting blocks and brackets flat against a steel stud.
        • Switchboard and enclosure assembly — fastening internal panels, gland plates and escutcheons where a flush head is needed.
        • Steel stud partition work — commercial fit-outs where the framing is metal rather than timber.
        • Data and comms rough-in — fixing conduit saddles and tray brackets along interior cable routes.
        • Maintenance and service kits — a box of 500 keeps the 357FLA10D16-500 on the van for repeat call-outs.
        • Shopfitting and joinery hardware — securing light-duty trims and plates where the head must finish flush.

        The 357FLA10D16-500 carries no outdoor or marine corrosion rating on its datasheet, so the zinc-plated finish suits dry interior work rather than exposed or damp locations. A 16mm screw gives limited thread engagement and does not suit thick timber or deep sections that need a longer fixing. Substrate suitability rests with the licensed installer, who should confirm the fixing against the material before running a full box.

        (357FLA10D16-500)

        They’re suitable for light-gauge steel, timber, and general construction materials where a flush, low-profile fastening is needed.

        No, the drill-point tip is designed to bite cleanly into compatible substrates without pre-drilling.

        They work with both SQ1 square drive bits and PH2 Phillips bits, making them flexible for different toolkits.

        Yes, it’s ideal for situations where you need a firm hold without protrusion or excessive screw depth.

        The yellow zinc finish offers reliable indoor corrosion resistance and protects the carbon steel core from wear during installation.

        Yes, the low-profile head helps achieve a neat finish, making them ideal for mounting saddles, plates, brackets, or trims.
