Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 16038 is a No. 10 pan head Phillips sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal components in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. Constructed from steel, this screw measures 1 inch in length and features a pan head profile with a Phillips drive for reliable engagement with standard screwdrivers and drill drivers. It is a staple fastener for ductwork assembly, equipment enclosures, junction boxes, and access panels where a low-profile head and secure thread bite are required.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial installations where sheet metal to sheet metal or sheet metal to light gauge steel connections are needed. Common applications include HVAC duct fabrication and repair, electrical panel enclosures, and equipment cabinet assembly. Trade professionals including HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians use this fastener in routine service and new installation work.

Key Features

• No. 10 pan head profile keeps the head low and flush against mating surfaces
• Phillips drive compatible with standard screwdrivers and magnetic bit drivers
• Steel construction provides solid holding strength in sheet metal applications
• 1 inch length suits typical sheet metal gauges used in HVAC and electrical enclosures
• Self-tapping thread design cuts into sheet metal without a pre-tapped hole

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 pan head Phillips sheet metal screw suitable for use in HVAC ductwork, equipment enclosures, and general sheet metal fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a Phillips screwdriver or a power driver with a Phillips bit. Ensure mating sheet metal surfaces are properly aligned before driving the screw to avoid deformation. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can strip the thread engagement in light gauge sheet metal. Follow applicable codes including SMACNA standards for duct fastening spacing requirements.
