Value Collection 09692799 No.10 Self Drilling Screw 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 09692799 is a No. 10 self-drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening without a pre-drilled pilot hole. It features a hex washer head with a hex drive, providing strong torque transfer and a built-in bearing surface that distributes load across the material. The screw measures 1/2 inch in length under the head and uses a No. 3 drill point, suited for drilling through light-gauge metal and similar materials. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it offers basic corrosion resistance for general-purpose applications. Supplied in a package of 50 pieces, this screw is commonly installed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors in light commercial and residential settings.

This screw is well suited for attaching metal-to-metal or thin sheet metal assemblies where speed and consistency are priorities. The hex washer head style is a standard choice for HVAC ductwork connections, metal framing, and structural panel attachment. The zinc-plated finish provides a level of protection against oxidation in dry or mildly humid interior environments. The No. 3 drill point is rated for use with light-gauge steel, making this fastener a practical stock item for service vans and job-site inventory.

Key Features

• No. 3 drill point eliminates the need for a pilot hole in light-gauge metal
• Hex washer head provides a built-in load-bearing surface and resists pull-through
• Hex drive allows high-torque installation with a standard nut driver or hex-tip bit
• Grade 2 steel construction meets general-purpose structural fastener requirements
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance for dry and interior applications
• Sold in a 50-piece package for convenient job-site use and restocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 self-drilling screw for light-gauge metal fastening applications in HVAC, metal framing, and general sheet metal work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, or general contractors using a hex-tip nut driver or drill driver set to the appropriate clutch setting to avoid overdriving. Ensure the base material is within the rated thickness range for a No. 3 drill point before driving. Do not overtorque, as stripping the fastener or distorting the material can compromise the joint. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and pattern requirements.
