Value Collection 1020ABPO No. 10 Oval Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1020ABPO is a No. 10 Type AB sheet metal screw with an oval head and Phillips drive, designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, and sheet metal assemblies. The screw measures 1.25 inches in overall length and is manufactured from Grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides corrosion resistance in standard indoor and light-duty outdoor applications. The Type AB point allows for self-starting in pre-drilled or punched holes. This fastener is sized for a No. 2 Phillips driver bit and is sold in a minimum quantity of 100 pieces per order.

This screw is used across a wide range of light commercial and residential trade applications including HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosures, plumbing hangers, and general sheet metal fabrication. The oval head provides a low-profile, finished appearance while still offering good bearing surface on the material. It is appropriate for use wherever a self-tapping fastener is required in thin-gauge steel or similar substrates, and it is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers during equipment installation and rough-in work.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for use in thin-gauge steel panels, brackets, and enclosures where a self-tapping oval head fastener is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a No. 2 Phillips bit using a power screwdriver or hand driver. Pre-drill or punch a pilot hole sized to the thread diameter before driving to ensure proper thread engagement and avoid material distortion. De-energize any electrical equipment and shut off any mechanical systems before fastening into energized enclosures or live assemblies. Do not overtighten, as over-driving can strip threads in thin-gauge sheet metal.
