Value Collection 1032ABW Sheet Metal Screw No. 10 2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1032ABW is a No. 10 sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar sheet metal assemblies. It features a hex washer head and hex drive, allowing installation with a standard nut driver or hex bit. The 2-inch length under head provides adequate thread engagement in light-gauge steel and related substrates. The screw is manufactured from AISI 1016/1024 grade steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in dry to mildly humid conditions. This fastener meets ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 dimensional standards.

This screw is suited for light commercial and residential trade applications including HVAC sheet metal work, electrical panel and enclosure assembly, and general mechanical fastening where a Type AB thread form is appropriate. The Type AB point combines a gimlet tip with coarse thread spacing, allowing the screw to self-start in pre-punched or drilled holes in thin sheet metal without requiring a separate tapping operation. HVAC installers, sheet metal workers, and electricians commonly use this fastener during equipment installation and ductwork assembly.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size, 2-inch length under head for solid engagement in light-gauge metal
• Hex washer head provides a bearing surface and allows high-torque installation with a nut driver or hex bit
• Type AB point self-starts in pre-punched holes without a separate tapping step
• Zinc finish offers basic corrosion protection for indoor and sheltered applications
• AISI 1016/1024 steel construction meets ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards
• Minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel panels, HVAC ductwork flanges, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-metal fastening applications where a hex washer head and 2-inch length under head are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a nut driver or hex-drive bit sized for a No. 10 hex washer head fastener. Pre-punch or drill a pilot hole in the workpiece per the material gauge and thread size requirements before driving. Do not over-torque, as exceeding the appropriate seating torque can strip the thread engagement in thin sheet metal. Verify that the zinc finish is adequate for the service environment, as this finish is not rated for prolonged outdoor or high-humidity exposure without additional protection.
