Value Collection 1212U Sheet Metal Screw 12 Round Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1212U is a number 12 round head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar materials in mechanical and fabrication applications. It features a Type U point for clean thread engagement without a pre-drilled pilot hole in many applications. The screw measures 0.75 inches in length under head and is manufactured from Grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. These screws conform to ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 dimensional standards, making them suitable for consistent, repeatable fastening in production and service work.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, electricians, and general contractors for securing duct panels, junction box covers, light-gauge enclosures, and other thin-metal assemblies. The round head profile provides a wide bearing surface and a clean finished appearance. Sold in multiples of 1,000 per order, this fastener is suited for shop stock, service vans, and production line use where consistent hardware is needed in volume.

Key Features

• Number 12 thread size for strong grip in light-gauge sheet metal
• Round head profile provides wide bearing surface and low-profile finish
• Type U point for direct drive into sheet metal in many applications

• Conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 dimensional standards
• Inch measurement system; 0.75 inch length under head

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge steel, ductwork panels, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-metal fastening applications where a number 12 round head Type U screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal fabricators, or electricians using a power driver or manual screwdriver with the appropriate bit. De-energize any electrical enclosures and shut down associated equipment before fastening or removing screws in live assemblies. Avoid over-driving, which can strip threads in light-gauge material. Follow applicable codes including SMACNA duct construction standards and NEC requirements where applicable.
