Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers using a Phillips bit in a hand driver or power drill. Ensure the material being fastened is properly aligned and supported before driving. When installing into painted or coated metal surfaces, a pilot hole may reduce the risk of surface distortion. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and load requirements.
