Value Collection 0612DSO Oval Head Wood Screw No. 6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0612DSO is a No. 6 oval head wood screw with a slotted drive, designed for fastening applications in wood substrates. The oval head profile sits slightly above the surface with a finished, low-profile appearance suited to finish carpentry, cabinetry, and trim work. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plated finish, this screw meets ASME B18.6.1 dimensional standards. The 0.75-inch length under head makes it appropriate for light- to medium-duty fastening tasks in softwood and hardwood assemblies. Carpenters, millwork installers, and general contractors are the primary installers of this fastener type.

This screw is used in residential and light commercial woodworking applications where a flush-to-slightly-raised head profile is preferred over a fully countersunk flat head. Typical use cases include cabinet face frames, interior trim attachment, furniture assembly, and decorative hardware installation. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted driver bits. The zinc plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for interior dry environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted driver bit sized to the No. 6 head. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in hardwoods to prevent splitting and ensure proper seating of the oval head. This fastener is intended for interior dry environments; exposure to moisture or outdoor conditions may degrade the zinc plated finish over time. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer guidelines for structural or load-bearing fastener applications.
