Value Collection 1004ABSW No. 10 Sheet Metal Screw Hex Washer

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1004ABSW is a No. 10 sheet metal screw designed for fast, secure fastening in light-gauge sheet metal and similar thin-material applications. It features a hex washer head with a slotted drive, allowing installation with either a flat-blade screwdriver or a hex wrench. The Type AB point provides a self-tapping thread form suited for pre-pierced or pre-drilled sheet metal. Manufactured from Grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw delivers corrosion resistance appropriate for general indoor and protected outdoor use. Length under head measures 0.25 inches. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces per package.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC, electrical enclosure, and light-fabrication applications where technicians need to fasten sheet metal panels, brackets, and housings. The hex washer head distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface, reducing the risk of pull-through in thin stock. The slotted drive is widely compatible with standard hand tools found on most service vehicles and job sites. This fastener is appropriate for residential and light commercial sheet metal work performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general sheet metal mechanics.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge sheet metal panels, enclosures, and brackets across HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified sheet metal mechanics, HVAC technicians, or electricians using appropriate hand or power tools. Ensure the receiving material is pre-pierced or pre-drilled to the correct pilot hole diameter for a No. 10 Type AB screw before driving. Avoid overtorquing, which can strip threads in thin-gauge material or crack the zinc plating. Follow applicable codes including SMACNA guidelines for sheet metal fastener spacing where required.
