Itw Buildex 560106 Hex Washer Head Sheet Metal Screw 100pk

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560106 is a No. 9 hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in light-gauge metal applications. Measuring 1.5 inches in length under the head, this screw features a hex drive for positive torque engagement and reduced cam-out during installation. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface that distributes clamping load and resists pull-through. Constructed from steel, the 560106 is well suited for HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, and general sheet metal work. Sold in packs of 100 pieces.

This screw is used in residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, fast-driving fastener is needed for thin metal substrates. Common install scenarios include joining HVAC sheet metal duct sections, securing junction boxes, attaching metal brackets, and assembling metal framing components. The hex washer head style allows use with a standard nut driver or hex-drive bit, making it a practical choice for trade installers working in confined spaces or with power tools.

Key Features

• Hex washer head distributes load and prevents pull-through
• Hex drive accepts standard nut drivers and hex-bit drivers for fast installation
• Steel construction provides reliable mechanical strength
• Pack of 100 reduces per-unit cost on volume jobs

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a hex-tip nut driver or power drill with a hex bit. De-energize any electrical enclosures and shut off HVAC equipment before fastening into panels or duct sections. Avoid overtightening, as excessive torque can strip light-gauge metal or deform the washer face. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and sheet metal joint construction.
