Import C52000451 Pan Head Sheet Metal Screw No. 10

Product Description

The IMPORT C52000451 is a No. 10 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fast, secure fastening in light-gauge metal applications. It features a Type AB point for easy thread engagement in pre-punched or drilled sheet metal. The square drive recess reduces cam-out, making it a reliable choice for high-volume installation work. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw provides basic corrosion resistance in indoor and sheltered environments. At 2 inches in length measured under the head, it suits a range of typical sheet metal panel depths found in HVAC equipment enclosures, ductwork, and electrical cabinets.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers for securing access panels, joining duct sections, attaching equipment covers, and fastening light-gauge steel components. The pan head profile sits flat against the workpiece surface and distributes clamping load evenly, making it a standard choice for field and shop assembly work where a low-profile head is preferred.

Key Features

• Type AB point for reliable thread engagement in sheet metal without pre-tapping
• Square drive recess minimizes cam-out during installation
• Pan head profile provides wide bearing surface on thin sheet material
• Zinc-plated Grade 2 steel construction for corrosion resistance in indoor environments
• 2-inch length under head suits standard sheet metal panel and enclosure thicknesses
• Sold in multiples of 50 for job-site and shop use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 10 sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel panels, HVAC equipment enclosures, ductwork, and electrical cabinet assemblies.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal mechanics using a square-drive bit and power screwdriver or drill. De-energize all electrical equipment and depressurize any associated ductwork before removing or replacing fasteners on live enclosures. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the thread engagement in thin sheet metal or crack the workpiece. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes for the specific equipment being serviced.
