Value Collection 31855 No. 6 Sheet Metal Screw Hex Washer Slotted

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31855 is a No. 6 hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge sheet metal and thin materials in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication work. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-head screwdriver or bit, and the Type AB point self-taps into pre-punched or drilled sheet metal without requiring a separate nut. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw measures 3/8 inches in length under the head. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications including duct assembly, electrical enclosure attachment, HVAC equipment panels, and sheet metal housing fabrication. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface that resists pull-through in thin sheet stock, making it a standard choice for HVAC installers and sheet metal mechanics working on ductwork joints, access panels, and equipment cabinets. The Type AB thread form is compatible with both thicker and thinner gauges of sheet metal.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are typically installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal mechanics, and electricians using a flat-head screwdriver or a slotted bit in a power driver. Ensure the base material is properly supported and that the correct pilot hole size is used for the gauge of metal being fastened. De-energize any electrical equipment or HVAC system before driving screws into live panels or enclosures. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing on ductwork and enclosures.
