This fastener measures 0.25 inches in length under the head and is designed for secure fastening into sheet metal and light-gauge materials. The Type U point style is a blunt, interference-fit press-in design suited for permanent installations where vibration resistance is a priority. Grade 18-8 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments. This fastener conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 dimensional standards. It is used by HVAC technicians, sheet metal fabricators, electricians, and plumbers in light-duty metal assembly work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is appropriate for residential and commercial applications where a small-diameter, short-length fastener is needed to join sheet metal panels, ductwork components, junction box covers, and similar thin-gauge assemblies. The round head profile sits above the work surface and distributes clamping load across the material face, making it suitable where a low-profile or flush fit is not required. Installations in corrosive or high-humidity environments benefit from the stainless steel construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo. 2 thread size with 0.25 inch length under head for light-gauge sheet metal applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRound head profile distributes load across the material surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType U blunt point for press-fit permanent fastening with vibration resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 dimensional standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInch measurement system; compatible with standard No. 2 driver bits and tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard inch-series sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge metal assemblies including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication where a No. 2 round head Type U fastener is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed with a standard No. 2 slotted or compatible driver bit. The Type U point is designed for press-in insertion and is not intended for removal and reinstallation. Ensure the base material gauge is appropriate for a No. 2 fastener to avoid stripping or pull-through. When working in electrical enclosures or HVAC systems, de-energize or shut down the equipment before fastening operations in accordance with applicable NEC or local code requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type U\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 18-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement System\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0204U188\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698370740530,"sku":"0204U188","price":7574.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/89aa1ac6a22f9f433597e57f7abd55c8.jpg?v=1788361859","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-0204u188-no-2-round-head-sheet-metal-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
