Value Collection 1008U No. 10 Round Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1008U is a No. 10 round head sheet metal screw designed for fast, secure fastening in light-gauge metal applications. Made from Grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw provides solid corrosion resistance in typical indoor and light-duty service environments. The Type U point drives into pre-punched or self-piercing sheet metal without requiring a separate tapping step. Length under head measures 1/2 inch. Conforms to AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and ASME B18.6.4 standards. Sold in multiples of 1,000 units, making it a practical choice for high-volume installation work.

This fastener is suited for HVAC duct assembly, electrical enclosure work, light structural sheet metal fabrication, and general trade applications where a reliable No. 10 zinc-plated screw is required. The round head profile distributes clamping load evenly across the mating surface, reducing the risk of material distortion on thinner gauges. It is commonly used by HVAC technicians and sheet metal workers in both residential and light commercial settings.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size with Type U point for direct drive into sheet metal
• 1/2 inch length under head suits standard light-gauge sheet metal stacks
• Grade 1016-1024 steel construction for consistent shear and tensile strength
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in dry and light-moisture environments
• Round head profile spreads load and reduces surface distortion
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series No. 10 sheet metal fastener for use in light-gauge steel assemblies, HVAC duct work, electrical enclosures, and similar sheet metal fabrication applications where a Type U round head screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a power driver or manual screwdriver with the appropriate bit size. Ensure the base material is properly supported and pre-punched or pre-drilled as required by the application before driving. Disconnect power to any electrical enclosure before fastening. Follow applicable codes including SMACNA standards for duct assembly and the NEC for electrical enclosure work.
