Import C52000450 Sheet Metal Screw 10 Pan Head 5/8 in 50-pack

Product Description

The IMPORT C52000450 is a number 10 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fast, secure fastening in light-gauge metal applications. Featuring a square drive recess and a Type AB point, this screw bites cleanly into sheet metal without requiring a pilot hole in many applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, it measures 5/8 inches in length under the head. This fastener is commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers during equipment installation, ductwork assembly, and panel attachment. Sold in a pack of 50.

This screw is well suited for residential and light commercial trade work where number 10 sheet metal fasteners are called out. Typical applications include securing HVAC duct flanges, electrical enclosure panels, junction box covers, and sheet metal housings. The pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface and low-profile sit against the workpiece. The square drive reduces cam-out during installation, which matters when working in tight or awkward spaces common in mechanical and electrical rough-in work.

Key Features

• Type AB point for self-tapping entry into light-gauge sheet metal without a pre-drilled pilot hole in many cases
• Square drive recess reduces cam-out and improves torque transfer
• Pan head design provides a broad bearing surface for flush or near-flush seating
• Zinc-plated finish offers baseline corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments
• Grade 2 steel construction meets standard strength requirements for sheet metal fastener applications
• Pack of 50 supports single-job or small stock quantities

Compatibility

Designed as a standard number 10 Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for use in light-gauge steel assemblies, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication where a 5/8-inch pan head square drive fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a square-bit driver or drill with appropriate bit. De-energize all electrical equipment and verify duct systems are depressurized before fastening panels or covers. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the sheet metal and compromise the joint. Follow applicable code requirements such as SMACNA standards for duct construction or NEC guidelines for electrical enclosure assembly.
