Value Collection 0706ABSW No. 7 Sheet Metal Screw 100 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0706ABSW is a No. 7 sheet metal screw designed for fast, secure fastening in light-gauge sheet metal, metal framing, and related thin-material applications. The hex washer head provides a built-in bearing surface that resists pull-through, while the slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade or hex-driver tooling. The Type AB point is a sharp, spaced-thread point that self-starts in pre-drilled or punched holes without requiring a pilot tap. Made from 1016/1024 grade steel with a zinc finish, this screw resists corrosion in typical indoor and sheltered-outdoor installations. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

This screw is suited for HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure installation, light structural metal framing, and general sheet metal work encountered in residential and light commercial trade applications. The 3/8-inch length under head makes it appropriate for joining thin-gauge material where a short bite is required to avoid over-penetration. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers commonly use this fastener for panel attachment, equipment housing assembly, and duct collar connections.

Key Features

• No. 7 thread size with Type AB self-starting point for use in pre-drilled or punched sheet metal
• Hex washer head provides integrated bearing surface to reduce pull-through in thin material
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade and hex-tip drivers
• 1016/1024 grade steel construction meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards
• Zinc finish for corrosion resistance in indoor and sheltered installations
• 3/8-inch length under head suits thin-gauge sheet metal joining applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for light-gauge sheet metal applications across HVAC, electrical, and light construction trades where a No. 7 hex washer head sheet metal screw with Type AB point is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a pre-drilled or punched clearance hole appropriate for a No. 7 thread diameter. Use a flat-blade screwdriver or a hex-driver bit at controlled torque to avoid stripping the slotted drive or over-driving the washer head into soft or thin base material. Ensure the base material is clean and free of burrs before driving. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA duct construction standards or NEC requirements for enclosure fastening where relevant to the installation.
