Value Collection 31713 Sheet Metal Screw 6 Pan Head Slotted

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31713 is a No. 6 pan head sheet metal screw with a slotted drive, designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, ductwork, and sheet metal components. The Type A point allows the screw to self-start into pre-punched or pre-drilled sheet metal without requiring a separate nut or insert. Measuring 0.625 inches in length under the head, this fastener is made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments. Sold in quantities of 100 per order, this screw is a standard choice for HVAC fabricators, electricians, and sheet metal workers who need reliable, consistent fasteners in volume.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies found in residential and commercial HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and general sheet metal fabrication. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface that distributes clamping force without the sharp edge of a hex washer head, making it appropriate for applications where a finished appearance matters or where surrounding materials could be marred. The slotted drive works with standard flat-blade screwdrivers or slotted power bits.

Key Features

• Type A point self-starts in pre-punched or pre-drilled sheet metal without a pilot hole in most gauges
• Pan head profile offers a wide bearing surface and low profile for clean, finished installations
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and power driver bits
• Zinc-plated Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate corrosion resistance for dry indoor use
• 0.625-inch length under head suits typical light-gauge sheet metal panel thicknesses
• Sold in packs of 100 to support production and service volume requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 Type A pan head sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel sheet metal applications including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general fabrication work.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a flat-blade screwdriver or a powered driver with a slotted bit. Ensure the mating material is properly supported and that the correct drill or punch size is used for pre-formed holes to avoid stripping. Do not over-torque, as the zinc-plated Grade 2 steel head can shear if excessive force is applied with a power driver.
