Au-ve-co Products 1717 Pan Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 1717 is a No. 10 pan head Phillips sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in light-gauge metal assemblies. Constructed from zinc-plated steel, this screw provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor mechanical and electrical enclosure work. The 3/4-inch length under head makes it a standard choice for joining thin sheet metal panels, brackets, and HVAC cabinet components. Installation requires only a Phillips screwdriver or a powered driver with the correct bit. Trade professionals in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing service routinely stock this size for field repairs and equipment assembly.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC unit casings, electrical junction box covers, sheet metal ductwork components, and light-gauge equipment panels. The pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface and a low-profile head that sits flush against flat sheet metal without requiring a countersunk hole. These screws are sold in lots of 100, making them practical for service vans and shop inventory. They are appropriate for residential and light commercial applications wherever a self-tapping sheet metal fastener is required.

Key Features

• No. 10 pan head profile provides wide bearing surface on flat and thin-gauge sheet metal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fastener for HVAC cabinet panels, electrical enclosures, and light-gauge sheet metal assemblies requiring a No. 10 pan head Phillips sheet metal screw.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers as part of equipment assembly or field repair. Ensure the mating sheet metal is securely clamped or held before driving to prevent misalignment. Use the correct Phillips bit size to avoid cam-out and head damage. When used on energized electrical enclosures, follow NFPA 70 lockout and de-energization procedures before accessing interior components.
