Au-ve-co Products 2994 Hex Washer Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 2994 is a hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in light-gauge metal applications. Built from steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this screw features a 5/16 inch thread size and measures 1 inch in length under the head. The hex drive and hex washer head allow for high-torque installation with a standard hex driver or socket tool. Compatible with Type A and Type AB point configurations, it provides reliable thread-forming performance in sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, equipment panels, and similar applications. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 units.

This screw is well-suited for HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and mechanical contractors working with light-gauge steel assemblies. Common uses include securing duct sections, attaching equipment panels, fastening junction box covers, and general sheet metal fabrication. The zinc finish provides baseline protection against oxidation in standard indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. The hex washer head distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface, reducing the risk of pull-through in thinner materials.

Key Features

• 5/16 inch thread size with 1 inch length under head for consistent engagement depth
• Hex washer head provides broad bearing surface and high-torque capability
• Hex drive accepts standard hex bit drivers and sockets
• Type A and Type AB point types for thread-forming in light-gauge sheet metal
• Steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance
• Inch measurement system - fits standard inch-based fastener specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies typical in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical trade applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general mechanical contractors using a hex driver or socket. Power down and de-energize any electrical equipment before fastening panels or enclosures. Use a driver set to appropriate clutch settings to avoid overdriving and stripping threads in light-gauge material. Follow applicable local mechanical and building codes when securing ductwork or equipment enclosures.
