Frequently Asked Questions
“Self-Tap” means the screw will cut or form its own thread as it's driven into the mating material — so pre-drilling may not be required (depending on material) and installation is faster.
It’s not recommended — generic screws may lack correct thread-cutting profile, material strength or head design, which can lead to improper sealing, loosening, or thread stripping under pressure or vibration. Always use OEM 114818 when specified.
