Value Collection -31864-1 No. 10 Hex Washer Sheet Metal Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -31864-1 is a No. 10 hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal, light-gauge steel components, and similar materials in mechanical and trade applications. The slotted drive allows installation with a standard flat-blade screwdriver or bit. The screw measures 1.25 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance. This package contains 50 screws. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers routinely use fasteners of this type when assembling ductwork, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and equipment panels.

These screws are suited for residential and light commercial trade work wherever a No. 10 sheet metal screw is specified. Common applications include securing HVAC duct sections, attaching equipment access panels, fastening electrical enclosure covers, and general sheet metal assembly. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface that resists pull-through on thin-gauge material. The zinc-plated finish is appropriate for dry or mildly humid indoor environments typical of mechanical rooms and electrical installations.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 hex washer head sheet metal screw suitable for use in ductwork assembly, equipment panel fastening, electrical enclosure installation, and other light-gauge sheet metal applications where this thread size and head style are specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a flat-blade screwdriver or a slotted bit in a power driver. Always de-energize electrical equipment and shut down HVAC systems before fastening or removing hardware on live panels or ductwork. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in harder or thicker gauge material helps prevent material deformation and reduces cam-out on the slotted drive. Follow applicable codes including SMACNA duct construction standards and NEC requirements for enclosure fastening where relevant.
