Value Collection 0002U Round Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0002U is a round head sheet metal screw engineered for fastening thin-gauge metal assemblies. Measuring 0.125 inches in length under the head, this Type U drive screw is manufactured from Grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. It conforms to AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and ASME B18.6.4 standards, making it a reliable choice for production and MRO applications where dimensional consistency and material traceability matter. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal fabricators commonly use this fastener when assembling ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light-gauge metal components.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial applications involving thin sheet metal joining. Its Type U point allows for self-starting installation into pre-punched or drilled holes in light-gauge steel panels, junction boxes, duct flanges, and similar metal substrates. Supplied in multiples of 1000, it is appropriate for production environments, panel shops, and service fleets that require consistent bulk fastener stock. The zinc plating provides a baseline level of corrosion protection suitable for indoor and sheltered installations.

Key Features

• Type U point design allows self-starting entry into pre-punched sheet metal
• Grade 1016-1024 steel construction meets AISI 1016 material requirements
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered environments
• Conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 dimensional standards
• Sold in bulk quantities of 1000 for production and high-volume service use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension replacement or production fastener for applications requiring a round head, Type U point sheet metal screw with a 0.125 inch length under head per ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, HVAC sheet metal workers, and fabricators using appropriate hand tools or powered drivers set to the correct torque range for light-gauge material. Always verify the substrate gauge and pre-punch or drill hole size match the screw diameter before driving. De-energize any electrical enclosure or panel before fastening in or around live equipment per NEC guidelines. Avoid overdriving, which can strip the screw or deform the sheet metal substrate.
