Value Collection 1414ABSW Sheet Metal Screw 1/4 in Hex Washer

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1414ABSW is a 1/4 inch hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for fast, secure fastening in light-gauge metal applications. The slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade drivers, and the Type AB point self-pierces thin sheet metal without requiring a pre-drilled hole. Manufactured from 1016/1024 grade steel with a zinc finish, this screw resists corrosion in typical indoor and light-duty outdoor installations. At 7/8 inches in length under head, it suits thin-panel assemblies where a compact fastener is needed. HVAC fabricators, sheet metal mechanics, and general contractors rely on this screw type for ductwork, enclosures, and metal framing connections.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC duct assembly, sheet metal enclosures, electrical panel knockout covers, and similar light-gauge steel fabrication work. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface that resists pull-through in thin material. The slotted drive allows use with standard flat-tip power drivers and manual screwdrivers. Sold in quantities of 100 per order, this fastener suits production line assembly, service van restocking, and job-site supply needs across HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal trades.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Type AB sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge steel, ductwork, enclosures, and similar thin-metal assemblies where a 1/4 inch hex washer head fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by sheet metal mechanics, HVAC technicians, and electricians using a flat-blade driver or hex-head power driver. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and shut down HVAC systems before fastening panels or access covers. Apply consistent driver torque to avoid stripping the slotted recess in the steel head. Follow applicable SMACNA guidelines for duct fastener spacing and the NEC for electrical enclosure assembly requirements.
