Value Collection 0608ABPO No. 6 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0608ABPO is a No. 6 sheet metal screw with an oval head and Phillips drive, designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, HVAC ductwork components, and light-gauge sheet metal assemblies. The screw measures 0.5 inches in overall length and features a Type AB point for clean thread engagement in pre-drilled or punched holes. Manufactured from Grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc finish, it provides reliable corrosion resistance in standard indoor applications. This fastener is a staple for HVAC installers, electricians, plumbers, and sheet metal workers who need a dependable, code-recognized screw for everyday trade use.

This screw is suited for light-duty fastening tasks across residential and commercial applications. Common uses include securing sheet metal duct sections, electrical enclosure covers, junction box knockouts, and general metal-to-metal connections where a flush or low-profile head is preferred. The oval head sits slightly above the surface, offering a finished appearance without requiring a countersunk pilot hole. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100, this fastener is well suited for service vans, shop stock, and jobsite inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or bit driver. Always pre-drill or use a pre-punched pilot hole sized for a No. 6 screw to prevent metal distortion. De-energize all electrical panels and HVAC equipment before fastening covers or enclosures. Do not overdrive the screw, as the oval head can crack or deform thin gauge material when torque is excessive.
