Value Collection -31865-11/2 No.10 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -31865-11/2 is a No. 10 hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal components in HVAC, electrical, and light-gauge sheet metal applications. It measures 1.5 inches in length under the head and features a Type AB point for easy thread engagement in pre-drilled or punched sheet metal. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, this screw provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor mechanical and electrical panel work. The slotted drive allows installation with a standard flat-blade screwdriver or bit.

This screw is well-suited for securing sheet metal panels, ductwork access doors, electrical enclosure covers, and similar light-gauge metal assemblies in residential and commercial installations. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface that resists pull-through on thin sheet stock. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 50 units, making it practical for stocking in a service vehicle or shop supply.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tradespeople including HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers. Use a flat-blade bit or slotted screwdriver sized appropriately for the drive recess to avoid cam-out. Ensure the mating material has a properly sized pilot hole per standard sheet metal fastener guidelines to prevent stripping. Avoid over-driving, which can distort the sheet metal or strip the thread engagement.
