Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw features a 5\/16 inch thread size and a 3\/4 inch length under head. The Type A point allows it to self-pierce into thin sheet metal without a pre-drilled pilot hole. Sold in a pack of 50, the 31944 is a practical bulk option for HVAC fabricators, sheet metal workers, electricians, and general contractors who need a reliable, standardized fastener on the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is suited for attaching sheet metal panels, ductwork flanges, electrical enclosures, and light structural metal components. The hex head drive allows use with a standard nut driver or hex bit driver, making installation fast in tight spaces or high-volume applications. Typical uses include HVAC duct assembly, equipment enclosure fabrication, and general sheet metal joining in both residential and light commercial settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16 inch thread size for medium-duty sheet metal fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch length under head for shallow-to-medium material stack-ups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head and hex drive for positive nut driver or bit engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType A point self-pierces light-gauge sheet metal without pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated Grade 2 steel finish provides basic corrosion protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePack of 50 supports volume installation work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard Type A hex head sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal fabrication and assembly applications where a 5\/16 inch thread and 3\/4 inch under-head length are specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall with a 5\/16 inch hex nut driver or compatible hex bit driver at appropriate torque to avoid stripping the sheet metal. Ensure the base material is within the thickness range suitable for a Type A point screw before driving. No pilot hole is required for Type A point screws in light-gauge metal, though a pilot hole may be used in heavier gauges. Follow applicable building and mechanical codes when using fasteners in structural or pressure-containing assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type A\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-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 31944\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51714516517170,"sku":"31944","price":23.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/532d78fe0d61015d932d1ae8d197adca.jpg?v=1788502589","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-31944-sheet-metal-screw-5-16-hex-head-50-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
