Value Collection 1006U 10 Round Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1006U is a Type U sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal, sheet metal assemblies, and light-gauge components. Sized at 10 with a 0.375-inch length under the head, this round-head fastener is manufactured from Grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in standard indoor and light-duty applications. The Type U point is a blunt, interference-fit drive style that cuts its own thread on installation. Electricians, HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general contractors use this fastener for securing ductwork, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and similar assemblies.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a round-head profile and self-threading action are required in pre-punched or pre-drilled sheet metal. Typical installations include HVAC duct connections, electrical panel knockouts, and metal framing components. The zinc-plated finish provides adequate protection in dry or mildly humid interior environments. Sold in a package quantity of 1, with a minimum order quantity of 1000 units, this item is appropriate for contractors and distributors stocking fasteners in bulk for ongoing service and installation work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for sheet metal assemblies requiring a Size 10 round-head Type U screw with a 0.375-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, or electricians using a standard Phillips or slotted screwdriver or power driver with the appropriate bit. Ensure the receiving material is pre-punched or pre-drilled to the correct diameter for the Type U thread engagement before driving. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can strip the thread engagement in thin-gauge sheet metal. Follow applicable codes such as the NEC for electrical enclosure fastening or SMACNA standards for ductwork assembly.
