Value Collection 0204U Sheet Metal Screw No. 2 Round Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0204U is a No. 2 round head sheet metal screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in light-gauge sheet metal applications. Made from 1016/1024 grade steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this screw features a Type U point for self-starting penetration without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The 1/4-inch length under head makes it suited for thin-material assemblies where a low-profile fastener is needed. It meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and ASME B18.6.4 standards, confirming dimensional and material consistency across production lots. Electricians, HVAC techs, and sheet metal workers use this style of fastener routinely in ductwork, panels, and enclosures.

This screw is appropriate for use in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies found in residential and commercial HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and general sheet metal fabrication. The round head profile distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface, which is useful when fastening into thin or soft sheet stock. The Type U point drives cleanly into pre-punched or thin un-pierced sheet metal without requiring separate tapping. Available in bulk quantities suitable for shop stock or field kits.

Key Features

• No. 2 thread size with 1/4-inch length under head for thin-material fastening
• Round head profile provides wide bearing surface and low-profile appearance
• Type U point self-starts in light-gauge sheet metal without pilot drilling
• 1016/1024 grade steel construction for consistent mechanical strength
• Zinc finish for basic corrosion protection in typical indoor environments
• Meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and ASME B18.6.4 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication where a No. 2 round head Type U sheet metal screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, or electricians using a standard Phillips or slotted driver bit matched to the head recess. Confirm sheet material gauge is within the rated range for a Type U point before driving without a pilot hole. De-energize any electrical enclosure or HVAC system before fastening panels or access covers. Follow applicable NEC or SMACNA guidelines for fastener spacing and material requirements.
