The Tenn-Tex #7 x 2" Washer Head Installation Screw pairs a broad washer head with a combination drive recess, giving installers a wide clamping surface and the freedom to reach for either a Phillips or square bit. The Type 17 auger point and coarse thread make it a practical choice for attaching hardware, fixtures, and cabinet components to wood-based substrates.
The 2-inch length and coarse thread make this screw well suited for fastening cabinet hardware, mounting brackets, and installation components where the fastener needs to drive through a mounting plate or backing and anchor securely into the substrate behind it. The washer head is particularly useful when the mounting hole is oversized or when the installer needs load distributed across a broader footprint rather than concentrated under a smaller head. Cabinet shops and installers who work with a mix of driver bits will find the combination drive recess practical: the square recess is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit for one-handed placement, while the Phillips recess keeps the screw compatible with the bits most crews already carry.
The screw is carbon steel with a standard finish appropriate for dry interior applications. The Type 17 auger point includes a longitudinal flute that removes wood fiber during entry, which lowers torque demand and helps prevent splitting near edges or in denser stock. Coarse thread geometry provides the pull-out resistance needed in softwood, pine, and common cabinet panel materials. There are no nibs on the underside of the head, so the washer head bears flat against the surface rather than milling a countersink — the design intent is surface-bearing load distribution, not a flush-countersunk finish.
Cabinet installers and finish carpenters who are attaching hardware with oversized clearance holes, or who need a screw that stays put on the bit while working in awkward positions, are the natural fit for this product. The 400-piece box quantity supports a day's worth of installation work on a residential cabinet run or a short commercial project without requiring mid-job restocking. Shops that maintain both Phillips and square bits on the floor will get full use of the combination drive without changing their bit inventory.
No. The washer head is designed to bear against the surface rather than countersink. It distributes the clamping load over a wider area. If a flush or sub-flush finish is needed, a flat or countersunk head screw is the better choice.
The combination recess accepts a #2 Phillips bit or a #2 square bit. The square recess is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit for one-handed placement, which is useful when reaching into a cabinet or working at an angle.
This screw is designed for dry interior work. It is not rated for exterior exposure, high-humidity environments, or direct contact with ACQ pressure-treated lumber.
The Type 17 auger point has a fluted tip that clears wood fibers as the screw enters the material. This reduces driving torque and lowers the risk of splitting compared to a plain sharp point, particularly near edges or in denser wood.
Coarse thread performs best in solid softwood, pine, plywood, and similar wood-based substrates. It provides strong pull-out resistance in these materials. For hardwood or metal, a different thread form may be more appropriate.
When the job calls for a screw that spreads load under the head, starts cleanly in wood, and works with the bits already on your belt, the Tenn-Tex #7 x 2" Washer Head Installation Screw delivers a straightforward answer in a 400-piece box ready for the work ahead.
