Value Collection 31748 Pan Head Sheet Metal Screw 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31748 is a No. 10 pan head slotted sheet metal screw with a Type A point, measuring 1.5 inches under the head. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw is designed for fastening sheet metal and light-gauge materials in mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface, and the slotted drive accommodates standard flathead screwdrivers. Each package contains 50 screws, making it a practical quantity for service calls and small-batch jobs.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a reliable zinc-plated steel fastener is needed to secure sheet metal panels, ductwork components, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-gauge assemblies. The Type A point is self-tapping, allowing installation into pre-punched or drilled holes without a separate tapping step. It is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, sheet metal workers, and general maintenance tradespeople.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size for dependable grip in light-gauge sheet metal
• 1.5-inch length under head accommodates typical panel and enclosure thicknesses
• Type A self-tapping point for direct drive into pre-punched or drilled material
• Pan head profile provides broad bearing surface and flush-adjacent seating
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered installations
• Grade 2 steel construction meets standard fastener requirements for light mechanical duty

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 10 Type A sheet metal screw suitable for securing light-gauge steel panels, HVAC ductwork covers, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-gauge assemblies where a pan head slotted fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard flathead screwdriver or a slotted bit in a power driver set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the head or the material. Pre-punch or drill pilot holes in the base material as required for Type A point fasteners. Follow applicable codes such as the NEC or SMACNA guidelines when fastening electrical enclosures or HVAC ductwork components. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can distort thin sheet metal or damage the zinc plating.
