Value Collection 1216KPP No.12 Pan Head Self Drilling Screw 50pc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1216KPP is a No. 12 pan head self drilling screw designed for fastening into light-gauge steel and similar materials without a pre-drilled pilot hole. Featuring a Phillips drive and a No. 3 drill point, this screw cuts its own hole and threads as it is driven, reducing installation steps and hardware count. The 1-inch length under head suits typical sheet metal and structural panel applications. Constructed from grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it resists corrosion in standard indoor and light-exposure environments. These screws are sold in a minimum order quantity of 50.

This screw is suited to residential and light commercial construction and mechanical work, including HVAC duct fabrication, sheet metal enclosure assembly, and general structural panel fastening. The pan head profile distributes clamping load across a broad bearing surface, making it appropriate where flush or countersunk heads are not required. Installers working with sheet metal gauges typical in HVAC and electrical enclosure applications will find the No. 3 drill point well-matched to common material thicknesses in those trades.

Key Features

• No. 3 drill point self-taps and drills simultaneously, eliminating pilot hole requirements
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface for sheet metal and panel work
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power driver bits
• Grade 1016/1024 steel construction meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J78 standards
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in standard service environments
• 1-inch length under head suits light-gauge sheet metal and panel applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 12 pan head self drilling screw for use in light-gauge steel, sheet metal panels, and similar substrates where a No. 3 drill point is appropriate for the material thickness.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips-tip power driver or hand screwdriver at appropriate torque to avoid cam-out or overdriving. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure or HVAC unit before fastening panels or covers. Consult applicable codes including SMACNA standards for duct fabrication and NEC requirements for electrical enclosure work. Do not use self drilling screws as structural fasteners in applications requiring engineered or load-rated hardware unless specifications confirm suitability.
