Value Collection 31754 No. 12 Pan Head Slotted Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31754 is a No. 12 pan head slotted sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal assemblies in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication work. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw measures 3/4 inches in length under head. The Type A point allows for self-starting penetration into pre-punched or pre-drilled sheet metal without a pilot hole. Sold in a pack of 50, the 31754 is a standard consumable stocked by HVAC technicians, electricians, sheet metal workers, and general contractors for ductwork, enclosures, junction boxes, and panel attachment applications.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal applications common in residential and commercial HVAC duct assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, and equipment cabinet work. The pan head profile provides a broad bearing surface and sits low against the workpiece, which is useful where clearance is limited. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-head screwdriver or bit, making it compatible with basic hand tools and power drivers on the jobsite. The zinc finish provides a modest level of protection against oxidation in dry indoor environments.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 12 Type A pan head sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and equipment cabinets.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a flat-head screwdriver or power driver with a slotted bit. Ensure the workpiece is properly supported and that holes are pre-punched or pre-drilled to the appropriate diameter for a No. 12 thread before driving. Do not overdrive — pan head screws can deform thin sheet metal if excess torque is applied. Follow applicable installation standards for ductwork or electrical enclosures as required by local codes.
