Value Collection 0202U188 No. 2 Round Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0202U188 is a No. 2 round head sheet metal screw with a Type U point, designed for fastening light-gauge sheet metal and thin materials in trade and industrial applications. The fastener measures 0.125 inches in length under head and is manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel, providing solid corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments. Conforming to ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 standards, this screw delivers consistent dimensional accuracy and reliable drive performance. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal workers reach for Type U drive screws when securing ductwork panels, electrical enclosures, and light fabrications where a clean round head profile is required.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where corrosion resistance and dimensional consistency matter. Common install scenarios include duct assembly, junction box covers, and sheet metal fabrication work. The round head profile sits flush against the material surface without countersinking, making it appropriate for visible or semi-exposed fastening locations. Sold in quantity increments, this fastener is a standard consumable stocked by HVAC shops, electrical contractors, and sheet metal fabricators.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments
• Type U point for positive thread engagement in sheet metal and thin-gauge materials
• Round head profile requires no countersinking, suitable for surface-flush applications
• Conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 dimensional standards
• Inch measurement system with 0.125-inch length under head for precise fit in tight clearances

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a hand driver or low-torque power driver appropriate for No. 2 fasteners. De-energize any electrical enclosure or system before driving screws into panels or covers. Avoid over-driving, which can strip threads in thin-gauge material. Follow applicable NEC or IFGC guidelines when fastening enclosures or duct components that are part of a permitted system.
