Value Collection -31866-2 No. 10 Hex Washer Slotted Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -31866-2 is a No. 10 hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge metal panels, ductwork, and sheet metal assemblies. It features a slotted drive and a Type AB point, which combines a tapered tip with coarse threads for fast starting and secure engagement in thin metal substrates. The screw measures 2 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance for general indoor applications. Licensed HVAC technicians, sheet metal mechanics, and plumbers commonly use this screw type when assembling or securing metal components in the field.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving sheet metal connections, equipment panels, junction boxes, duct flanges, and similar thin-metal fastening tasks. The hex washer head distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface, reducing the risk of pull-through in lighter gauge material. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver or bit, making it compatible with common hand and power tools available on most job sites. This item is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws should be installed by qualified trade professionals following applicable local codes. Disconnect power or shut off the relevant system before fastening panels or covers on electrical enclosures or HVAC equipment. Use the appropriate flat-blade bit to avoid cam-out and damage to the slotted drive. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can strip threads in thin-gauge material or crack the zinc finish.
