Hillman Fasteners 80096 No.12x1 in Zinc Sheet Metal Screw 100pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 80096 is a zinc-plated sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar light-gauge metal assemblies. Each screw is a No. 12 diameter, 1 inch in length, with a Phillips drive and a pan head profile. The pan head sits flush against the surface and distributes clamping load evenly, making it a reliable choice for repeat fastening tasks. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty applications. This pack includes 100 pieces, suited for service vans, job-site replenishment, or shop stock.

These sheet metal screws are commonly used in HVAC duct assembly, electrical panel work, metal framing, and general trade fabrication tasks. The No. 12 diameter and 1 inch length are standard sizing for light-gauge steel and aluminum sheet, making them a go-to fastener for HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors working with metal substrates. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits found on most power drivers.

Key Features

• Zinc-plated finish — provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered environments
• Pan head profile — low-profile head distributes load across the fastening surface
• 100-piece pack — practical quantity for job-site stocking or service vehicle inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 12 x 1 inch pan head sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge metal panels, duct board, electrical enclosures, and general metal fabrication assemblies.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general tradespeople using a No. 2 Phillips bit and a power driver or manual screwdriver. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in harder or thicker gauge stock prevents material distortion and reduces drive torque. Do not overtighten, as pan head sheet metal screws can strip the drive recess or deform thin material when over-driven. Follow applicable codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing in duct and enclosure assemblies.
