Au-ve-co Products 3539 Sheet Metal Screw Size 6 Phillips

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 3539 is a No. 6 sheet metal screw with a Sems oval head and Phillips drive, finished in chrome and manufactured from Grade 2 steel. At 1 inch overall length, this fastener is sized for light-gauge sheet metal work commonly encountered in HVAC ductwork, equipment enclosures, and electrical panel assemblies. The Sems design integrates a captive washer under the head, providing consistent clamping force and eliminating the need to handle loose washers during installation. Grade 2 steel construction offers adequate shear and tensile strength for standard sheet metal fastening applications.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a Phillips-drive oval-head fastener is specified. Typical installations include securing duct panels, access covers, junction box knockouts, and equipment sheet metal housings. The chrome finish provides a degree of corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor and sheltered installations. Sold in quantities of 100 per package, this screw is intended for technicians and contractors who require a reliable, consistent fastener on the job or in the shop.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 sheet metal screw for use in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication and service applications where a Sems oval head Phillips drive fastener is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or matching power driver bit. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended when fastening into heavier-gauge steel to prevent material distortion and reduce drive torque. Do not overtighten, as sheet metal threads can strip in thin-gauge material. Always power down equipment before accessing panels or enclosures secured with these fasteners.
