Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers using a standard Phillips or slotted screwdriver or power driver. Always select the correct pilot hole size for the gauge of metal being fastened to avoid stripping threads or deforming the base material. Follow applicable codes such as the NEC or IFGC when fastening electrical or mechanical enclosures. Do not overtighten, as sheet metal threads can strip in thin-gauge material.
