What is the diameter of a number 12 screw?
Design with tek screws. A #12 screw is a 0.216″ diameter and a #14 is a 0.242″ diameter. The second number (#12-24) refers to the threads per inch. For a #12 screw, the standard number of threads per inch for a coarse threaded screw would be 24. I assume a #12-12 would typically be used in wood or plastics due to the smaller number of threads.
What are the sizes of wood screws?
Wood screws are numbered from 0 to 20, indicating a diameter from about 1/16 in. to 5/16 in.
