Value Collection 09692708 No. 14 Self Drilling Screw 25 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 09692708 is a No. 14 self-drilling screw with a hex washer head and hex drive, designed to drill its own pilot hole and fasten in a single operation. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw measures 3/4 inch in length under the head and features a No. 3 drill point for penetrating light-gauge metal, sheet metal framing, and similar substrates. Sold in a 25-piece package, it suits high-volume trade work where consistent performance and easy sourcing matter.

This screw is suited for light commercial and residential applications involving metal-to-metal or metal-to-substrate fastening. Typical install scenarios include HVAC ductwork assembly, sheet metal panel attachment, electrical enclosure work, and general mechanical trade fastening where a self-drilling point eliminates the need for a separate pilot-drilling step. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface and is driven with a standard hex bit or nut driver.

Key Features

• No. 3 drill point self-drills through light-gauge metal without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Hex washer head delivers a wide bearing surface and secure seating
• Hex drive compatible with standard hex bits and nut drivers
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable mechanical strength in general fastening
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered applications
• 25-piece package quantity suits jobsite stocking and repetitive assembly work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 14 self-drilling fastener suitable for light-gauge metal fastening applications common in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical trade work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a hex bit or nut driver set to appropriate clutch torque to avoid stripping the head or over-driving into thin material. Power down or de-energize any panel or enclosure before fastening near live electrical components. Follow applicable codes such as the NEC or SMACNA guidelines when using self-drilling screws in ductwork or electrical enclosure assemblies. Do not use in applications requiring corrosion resistance beyond the zinc-plated rating, such as outdoor or wet-environment exposure.
