Hillman Fasteners 80072 No.10x1 in Zinc Sheet Metal Screw 100pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 80072 is a zinc-plated sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge metal, sheet metal panels, and similar materials in trade and light industrial applications. The No. 10 x 1 inch pan head fastener features a Phillips drive for use with standard Phillips bits or screwdrivers. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and protected outdoor installations. Sold in a 100-count pack, these screws are a practical quantity for HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal assembly work.

These screws are well suited for residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, self-tapping sheet metal fastener is required. Common uses include securing HVAC duct sections and plenums, attaching junction box covers, fastening metal framing components, and other sheet metal assembly tasks. The pan head profile distributes load evenly across the fastener surface, making it appropriate for flush or overlapping sheet metal joints.

Key Features

• No. 10 x 1 inch pan head configuration for sheet metal fastening
• Phillips drive compatible with standard Phillips bits and screwdrivers
• Zinc plating for basic corrosion resistance in protected environments
• Self-tapping design threads directly into light-gauge sheet metal
• 100-count pack suits production work and multi-unit service calls

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and sheet metal workers using a Phillips screwdriver or power driver with a Phillips bit. Ensure the workpiece is properly supported and secured before driving fasteners. Do not overtighten, as self-tapping screws can strip light-gauge sheet metal when excessive torque is applied. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA standards for duct assemblies or NEC requirements for electrical enclosure fastening.
