Au-ve-co Products 23774 No. 10 Round Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 23774 is a No. 10 round head Phillips drive sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, and housings in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal applications. It measures 1.5 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from steel for reliable strength in light-gauge metal work. The Phillips drive allows for fast installation with standard power tools. Both Type A and Type AB point styles are supported, making this screw suitable for self-starting into pre-pierced or drilled sheet metal without requiring a separate pilot hole in most applications.

This screw is a standard trade fastener used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers for securing cabinet panels, ductwork access doors, electrical enclosures, junction box covers, and similar thin-gauge metal assemblies. It is sold in quantities of 100 per package, making it appropriate for service trucks, job-site supply bins, and shop stock. The inch measurement system and No. 10 thread size align with common domestic trade fastener standards.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size - standard fit for common sheet metal fastener holes
• 1.5-inch length under head for adequate thread engagement in light-gauge panels
• Round head profile sits flush against the surface without countersinking
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits and screwdrivers
• Type A and Type AB point types support self-starting in pre-pierced sheet metal
• Steel construction provides reliable shear and tensile strength for panel fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose sheet metal fastener for use in residential and light commercial applications involving thin-gauge steel panels, enclosures, and ductwork components.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws should be installed by qualified HVAC technicians or electricians following applicable codes such as the NEC or SMACNA standards where relevant. Use a No. 2 Phillips bit and confirm the receiving material gauge is appropriate for the thread size to avoid strip-out. Do not overdrive - stop when the head seats flush against the panel surface. Ensure power is de-energized before fastening any covers or panels on electrical or HVAC equipment.
