Value Collection 1012KPO No.10 Self Drilling Screw Oval Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1012KPO is a No. 10 self-drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening without a pre-drilled pilot hole. It features an oval head profile with a Phillips drive recess and a No. 2 drill point that cuts its own mating thread on entry. The screw measures 3/4 inches overall length and is manufactured from 1016/1024 grade steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. Licensed tradespeople and contractors reach for this fastener in metal-to-metal and light sheet metal applications where speed and a finished appearance matter. The oval head sits slightly above the surface for a clean, countersunk look without a fully flush profile.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal assembly, HVAC ductwork attachment, electrical enclosure work, and general metal fabrication tasks. The No. 2 drill point size is matched to the No. 10 shank, making it appropriate for thinner gauge base materials. It meets AISI 1016, ANSI B18.6.4, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 standards, which makes it acceptable on jobs where fastener traceability and dimensional compliance are required. The zinc plating provides basic atmospheric corrosion protection suitable for dry or semi-protected interior environments.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point self-starts without a pilot hole, reducing installation steps
• Oval head profile delivers a low-profile, finished appearance above the workpiece surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits and most screw guns
• 1016/1024 grade steel construction meets AISI, ANSI, ASME, and SAE fastener standards
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for interior applications
• 3/4 inch overall length suits light-gauge sheet metal and enclosure panel work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies where a No. 10 oval head self-drilling screw meeting ANSI B18.6.4 and ASME B18.6.3 dimensional standards is specified.

Installation Notes

Install with a No. 2 Phillips bit at controlled torque to avoid stripping the oval head recess or overdriving through thin base material. Confirm base material gauge is within the rated capacity of a No. 2 drill point before driving. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure or HVAC unit before fastening panels or covers. Follow applicable NEC or sheet metal trade guidelines for fastener spacing and edge distance on structural or pressure-boundary applications.
