Value Collection 1414ABPF Sheet Metal Screw No. 14 Flat Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1414ABPF is a No. 14 flat head Phillips sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in sheet metal and light-gauge metal applications. Measuring 7/8 inches in overall length, this screw features a Type AB point for reliable thread engagement on first contact. It is manufactured from Grade 1016/1024 carbon steel with a zinc finish that provides corrosion resistance in standard service environments. The Phillips drive accepts a No. 3 bit. This fastener meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards, making it appropriate for use in HVAC duct assembly, electrical panel work, and general sheet metal fabrication.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a low-profile flat head is required for flush or countersunk seating in sheet metal. Typical use cases include HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and metal framing connections. It is installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a No. 3 Phillips bit driver. The Type AB point allows fast starting without pre-drilling in most light-gauge sheet metal.

Key Features

• Type AB point for self-starting thread engagement in light-gauge sheet metal
• Flat head profile for flush or countersunk seating
• No. 3 Phillips drive for secure bit engagement and reduced cam-out
• Grade 1016/1024 carbon steel construction for reliable tensile strength
• Zinc finish for corrosion resistance in standard indoor environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, AISI 1016, and SAE J933 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 14 Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge sheet metal substrates in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a No. 3 Phillips bit driver or impact driver set to an appropriate torque setting for the gauge of metal being fastened. Ensure the workpiece is secured and free of burrs before driving to prevent stripping. Follow applicable codes such as the International Mechanical Code or NEC where fastener type and spacing are specified for metal assemblies.
