Value Collection 1020DSO Oval Head Wood Screw No. 10

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1020DSO is a No. 10 oval head wood screw designed for fastening applications in wood substrates. The oval head profile sits slightly above the surface for a finished appearance, while the slotted drive allows installation with a standard flat-blade screwdriver. At 1.25 inches in length under the head, this screw is suited for light to medium wood fastening tasks. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plated finish, it meets ASME B18.6.1 dimensional standards. Typically installed by carpenters, general contractors, and maintenance trades, this fastener is a reliable stock item for production and service work.

This screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial woodworking, cabinetry, trim work, and general carpentry. The zinc plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments. The ASME B18.6.1 standard governs dimensional tolerances for thread form, head geometry, and length, ensuring consistent fit across compatible applications. These screws are packaged individually and sold in multiples of 100, making them suitable for production-volume use or job-site replenishment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters or general maintenance trades using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in hardwoods and near the edges of workpieces to prevent splitting. Do not overtighten, as the screw head may countersink beyond the intended oval profile and damage the surrounding material. Zinc plated fasteners are intended for dry indoor environments and should not be used in direct contact with pressure-treated lumber or in exterior applications without appropriate corrosion-resistant alternatives.
