Value Collection 0716ABSW No. 7 Hex Washer Slotted Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0716ABSW is a No. 7 hex washer head sheet metal screw with a slotted drive and Type AB point, designed for fastening thin sheet metal, light-gauge steel components, and similar materials in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication work. Manufactured from Grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this screw measures 1 inch in length under the head. The Type AB point combines a tapered tip with coarse threads, allowing for self-starting entry into pre-punched or drilled holes. HVAC installers, sheet metal workers, and electricians use this style of fastener daily for ductwork, enclosures, and junction boxes.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, reusable hex washer head fastener is needed. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted hex-drive bits. Typical uses include securing sheet metal duct sections, attaching access panels, fastening equipment covers, and general light-gauge metal assembly. Sold individually per the package quantity of one screw, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it a practical choice for stocking a job-site supply.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 7 Type AB hex washer head sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar applications requiring an inch-series fastener.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, and electricians as part of routine fabrication and service work. Use a hex nut driver, socket driver, or flat-blade bit matched to the head size to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Ensure the receiving material is pre-punched or pre-drilled to the correct pilot hole diameter for a No. 7 Type AB screw before driving. Do not overdrive — stop when the washer head seats flush against the material surface.
