Value Collection 1210ABPF No.12 Flat Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1210ABPF is a No. 12 flat head Phillips drive sheet metal screw designed for light-gauge metal fastening applications. The screw features a Type AB point, which combines a thread-cutting tip with coarse spaced threads for reliable engagement in thin steel, sheet metal, and similar materials. Manufactured from Grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this fastener measures 5/8 inches in overall length. It is sized for a No. 3 Phillips driver bit. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers install this type of screw when assembling ductwork, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and metal panels.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where No. 12 sheet metal fasteners are specified. Typical use cases include HVAC duct assembly, electrical panel and enclosure fabrication, and general sheet metal work where a flush-seating flat head profile is required. The flat head countersinks into the material, producing a smooth, low-profile surface. Sold in quantities of 100 per order minimum, making it practical for service trucks and shop stock.

Key Features

• Type AB point for fast starts in pre-drilled or punched holes in light-gauge sheet metal
• Flat head profile countersinks flush for a smooth finished surface
• No. 3 Phillips drive compatible with standard power drivers and hand tools
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered applications
• Meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards
• Grade 1016/1024 steel construction for consistent tensile strength in sheet metal gauges

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 12 Type AB sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge steel, sheet metal panels, electrical enclosures, and HVAC ductwork assemblies requiring a flat head Phillips fastener.

Installation Notes

This fastener is typically installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a No. 3 Phillips bit in a power driver or manual screwdriver. Pre-drilling or using a punched pilot hole is recommended for consistent seating, especially in heavier gauges. When used in electrical enclosures, installation must comply with applicable NEC requirements for the enclosure type. Avoid overtorquing, as the threads in light-gauge material can strip if drive speed and pressure are not controlled.
