Value Collection 0606ABPO No.6 Oval Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0606ABPO is a No. 6 sheet metal screw with an oval head and Phillips drive, designed for fastening light-gauge sheet metal, thin plastic panels, and similar materials in trade and industrial assembly applications. At 3/8 inches overall length, this screw features a Type AB point for self-starting penetration without a pre-drilled pilot hole in most thin sheet applications. It is manufactured from Grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. Meets AISI 1016, ANSI/ASME B18.6.4, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J933 standards. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

This fastener is used across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general sheet metal work wherever a low-profile oval head and Phillips drive are required. Common applications include securing sheet metal panels, junction box covers, duct access doors, and equipment enclosures. The oval head sits slightly above the surface, offering a finished look where appearance matters alongside function. The No. 2 Phillips drive size is compatible with standard power drivers and hand tools used daily in the trades.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, and electricians using a No. 2 Phillips bit in a hand screwdriver or power driver. Verify material thickness is appropriate for the 3/8-inch screw length before driving to avoid over-penetration. Do not overdrive oval-head screws, as the head is designed to seat flush at the countersink transition and excess torque can strip the material or the drive recess. Consult applicable codes such as SMACNA standards for duct fastener spacing requirements.
