Value Collection 0604ABSP Size 6 Pan Head Slotted Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0604ABSP is a No. 6 pan head sheet metal screw with a slotted drive and Type AB point, designed for fast, reliable fastening into sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar thin materials. The screw measures 0.25 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from 1016/1024 grade steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in typical indoor and light-duty applications. The Type AB point combines the thread-tapping characteristics of Type A and Type B points, allowing it to start easily in pre-punched or drilled pilot holes. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, this fastener is a standard shop and field supply item for HVAC fabricators, sheet metal workers, and electrical contractors.

This screw is suited for light sheet metal assembly work common in HVAC ductwork fabrication, electrical enclosure installation, and general light-gauge metal joining. The pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider surface area than a flat head, making it appropriate where a low-profile, flush-seated head is not required. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flathead screwdrivers and slotted power bits. Applications typically involve thin-gauge ferrous sheet materials where a self-tapping fastener eliminates the need for a pre-tapped hole.

Key Features

• No. 6 thread size with Type AB point for self-tapping into pre-punched or drilled pilot holes
• 0.25-inch length under head suits thin sheet metal and light-gauge steel assemblies
• Pan head profile provides broad bearing surface without requiring countersinking
• Slotted drive accepts standard flathead screwdrivers and power bits
• Zinc finish offers basic corrosion protection for indoor and light-duty environments
• Manufactured to AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement and general-use sheet metal screw for light-gauge metal applications in HVAC, electrical, and sheet metal fabrication work.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are typically installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, or electricians using a flathead screwdriver or a slotted bit in a power driver. Always select the correct pilot hole diameter per the fastener manufacturer guidelines for the material gauge being fastened. Do not overtighten — stripping the pilot hole in thin-gauge sheet metal will compromise holding strength. Follow applicable SMACNA, NEC, or other trade standards for fastener spacing and pull-out requirements in your specific application.
