Value Collection 0208ABPF No. 2 Flat Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0208ABPF is a No. 2 flat head Phillips sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin-gauge metal, light sheet stock, and related materials in trade and light industrial applications. Manufactured from Grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw features a Type AB point for clean self-starting penetration into pre-drilled or punched holes. At 1/2 inch overall length, it is suited for shallow-depth fastening tasks where a flush, countersunk finish is required. HVAC technicians, electricians, and general tradespeople commonly use this fastener when assembling sheet metal enclosures, ductwork, junction boxes, and similar light-gauge metal work.

This screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications involving thin sheet metal panels, brackets, and enclosures. Its flat head profile sits flush with or below the material surface after installation, making it suitable where a smooth face is required. The Phillips No. 1 drive size is compatible with standard power screwdrivers and manual Phillips drivers commonly found on the job site. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 units per order.

• No. 1 Phillips drive compatible with standard power and hand drivers
• Zinc-plated Grade 1016-1024 steel construction for strength and basic corrosion resistance
• Meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards
• 1/2 inch overall length suited for shallow-depth sheet metal fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 2 Type AB flat head Phillips sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge metal panels, enclosures, ductwork, and similar thin-material applications common in HVAC, electrical, and general trade work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or general tradespeople using a No. 1 Phillips bit in a manual or powered driver. Pre-drill or punch a pilot hole sized to the minor diameter of a No. 2 sheet metal screw before driving to prevent material deformation and ensure proper thread engagement. Do not overdrive — the flat head should seat flush without distorting the surrounding material. Consult applicable codes such as the NEC for electrical enclosure fastener requirements where relevant.
