Value Collection -002U Round Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -002U is a round head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal and thin-gauge materials in light-duty mechanical and trade applications. It features a Type U point, which is a single-lead thread-cutting design that drives directly into pre-punched or pre-drilled holes without a separate tapping step. The screw measures 1/8 inch in length under the head and is manufactured from AISI 1016/1024 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. Installation requires only a standard slotted or Phillips driver. This fastener is appropriate for HVAC panel assembly, electrical enclosure work, and similar sheet metal fabrication tasks.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where sheet metal panels, housings, or covers need to be secured quickly and consistently. The Type U point and round head profile make it a common choice for HVAC cabinet assembly, ductwork accessories, electrical junction box covers, and general sheet metal shop work. Minimum order quantity is 1,000 pieces, making this fastener appropriate for bulk trade use on production or service work.

Key Features

• Type U thread-cutting point drives into pre-punched sheet metal without pre-tapping
• Round head profile distributes clamping load across thin-gauge material surfaces
• 1/8 inch length under head suits thin sheet metal applications
• AISI 1016/1024 steel construction meets ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 standards
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered applications
• Sold in bulk quantities suited for production assembly and service stock

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series round head sheet metal screw for use in thin-gauge steel panels and enclosures common to HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal trade work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal workers using a standard hand or power driver matched to the screw head drive type. Always de-energize electrical enclosures before fastening covers or panels per NEC requirements. Ensure the substrate hole diameter is appropriate for the Type U point to form a secure thread engagement without stripping. Do not overtorque in thin-gauge material, as thread stripping can occur in very light sheet stock.
