Value Collection 1293 Hex Head Sheet Metal Screw M6.3

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1293 is a hex head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal and thin-gauge materials in light fabrication, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assembly. The screw features an M6.3 metric thread size, measures 25 millimeters in length, and is driven with a hex driver or wrench. A black finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected outdoor applications. This fastener is sold in a package of 25 pieces, making it suitable for small jobs or topping off existing stock. Installation requires no pre-tapping — the screw self-taps into sheet metal as it is driven.

This screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications involving sheet metal panels, junction boxes, duct connections, and similar thin-material assemblies. Trades that commonly use this fastener include HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal fabricators. The hex drive style allows installation with a standard nut driver, hex bit, or wrench, providing positive engagement and reduced cam-out compared to slotted or Phillips drive types.

Key Features

• M6.3 metric thread size for standard sheet metal fastening applications
• 25-millimeter length suitable for single or double-layer sheet metal panels
• Hex head and hex drive for positive torque engagement with a nut driver or wrench
• Black finish for a clean appearance in visible or painted assemblies
• Package of 25 screws for small-quantity use or restocking

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose metric sheet metal screw for use in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, light fabrication panels, and similar thin-gauge sheet metal assemblies where an M6.3 thread profile is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by driving the screw directly into sheet metal without pre-drilling a tapped hole. Use an appropriate hex nut driver or socket to avoid rounding the head. Ensure the base material thickness is compatible with the 25-millimeter screw length to avoid bottoming out or breakthrough in unintended locations. Follow applicable NEC or IFGC guidelines when fastening within electrical or mechanical enclosures.
