It features a hex washer head with a slotted drive, a Type AB self-tapping point, and a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. The shank measures 1 inch in length under the head. Constructed from Grade 2 steel, this screw delivers reliable holding strength in standard-duty installations. It is sold individually but subject to a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis screw is commonly used in HVAC ductwork assembly, sheet metal enclosure fabrication, electrical junction box mounting, and light structural fastening. The hex washer head provides a large bearing surface that resists pull-through on thin sheet stock, while the slotted drive accommodates both flathead screwdrivers and hex-drive nut drivers. The Type AB point thread form is suited for use in sheet metal, resinous plywood, and some plastics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 12 thread size for high pull-out resistance in sheet metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex washer head with slotted drive accepts standard nut drivers and screwdrivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType AB self-tapping point for use in sheet metal and light-gauge materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 inch length under head suits standard sheet metal panel thickness ranges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc finish provides basic corrosion protection in indoor applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction for general-duty mechanical strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard No. 12 Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for use in residential and light commercial HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a hex nut driver or flathead screwdriver. Ensure the receiving material is properly supported before driving to prevent distortion of thin sheet stock. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is not required with Type AB point screws but may be used in harder materials to prevent walking. Follow applicable codes such as the IMC or NEC when fastening ductwork or electrical enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Washer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Slotted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type AB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31868\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51720984723762,"sku":"31868","price":23.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5447f882da702925a9bb4fb32da1d3a0.jpg?v=1788571876","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-31868-no-12-sheet-metal-screw-hex-washer","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
