Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 18261 is an M4.2 hex head sheet metal screw made from steel, designed for fastening sheet metal components in HVAC, electrical, and light mechanical assemblies. The hex head drive allows for reliable torque application with a standard nut driver or socket, making installation faster in production and service environments. This screw is a common hardware item used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers when securing panels, covers, and ductwork components during installation or service calls.

This fastener is suited for residential and light commercial applications where sheet metal panels, equipment enclosures, and access covers require a secure, repeatable fastening solution. Sold individually as a single-quantity package, with a minimum order quantity of 50 units, making it appropriate for stocking in a service van or shop supply inventory.

Key Features

• M4.2 thread size for standard sheet metal fastening applications
• Hex head drive compatible with common nut drivers and sockets
• Steel construction for durability in typical indoor mechanical environments
• Self-tapping sheet metal screw design for direct installation into sheet metal without a pre-tapped hole

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for sheet metal assemblies in HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, and similar light mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a standard nut driver or socket sized for the hex head. Always power down or de-energize equipment before removing or replacing panel fasteners. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the sheet metal and compromise the joint. Follow applicable codes and manufacturer guidelines for equipment panel reassembly.
