What does a number 4 screw mean?
As a handy coincidence, the Gauge (imperial) roughly equals the screw head size in millimetres. A 4 gauge screw will have a head that is approximately 4mm wide. (Head diameter in sixteenths is an inch X 2 ) – 2 = Gauge. E.g. 5/16 head times two equals 10, minus two equals 8. The Gauge is 8.
What do screw size numbers mean?
The first number is the diameter. The bigger the number the bigger the screw. The second number is the number of threads per inch. Check your state and local codes before starting any project. Follow all safety precautions.

How are metric screws sized?
The size of a metric screw or bolt is specified as diameter, pitch and length, in millimeters (millimeters is abbreviated “mm”). If you need to know the threads per inch of a metric fastener, first convert pitch from millimeters to inches (multiply by 0.03937), then divide 1 by that number.
How do I know what size screw I need?
The general rule of thumb is that the screw should enter at least half the thickness of the bottom material, e.g. 3/4″ into a 2 x 4. The other factor is the screw’s diameter, or gauge. Screws come in gauges 2 through 16. Most of the time you’ll want to go with a #8 screw.
How do I know what size my screw is?
To measure the diameter of screws and bolts, you measure the distance from the outer thread on one side to the outer thread on the other side. This is called the major diameter and will usually be the proper size of the bolt.
What are the different screw sizes?
There are three main screw measurements: gauge, length, and threads per inch (TPI).

Is UNC metric or imperial?
Both of these thread types are use for imperial thread. BSF and BSW are Britisch measurement systems, while UNF and UNC are American measurement systems. BSF and UNF are the fine thread systems, while BSW and UNC are the coarse thread systems.
What does UNC thread stand for?
UNC – Unified National Coarse Thread, comparable with the ISO metric thread. UNF – Unified National Fine Thread.
What is the difference between UNC and NC threads?
Coarse threads have a larger pitch ( fewer threads per inch, or a bigger distance between the threads) compared to fine threads. NC ( National Coarse ) Size ( Diameter ) Threads per Inch 1/4″ 20 5/16″ 18 3/8″ 16.
