Value Collection 32055 Size 12 Oval Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32055 is a size 12 oval head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar materials in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. Manufactured from Grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw offers corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty installations. The Phillips drive with a number 3 bit size and Type AB point allow for fast, self-starting installation without pre-drilling in most thin-gauge applications. Overall length is 1 inch. This package contains 50 screws.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians for securing ductwork, junction boxes, equipment panels, and enclosures. The oval head profile provides a low-profile finished appearance with a wider bearing surface than a flat head, making it well suited for visible or semi-finished installations. Type AB point geometry is compatible with thin to medium sheet metal gauges typical in residential and light commercial work.

Key Features

• Size 12 thread with Type AB self-starting point for use in sheet metal without pre-drilling
• Oval head profile provides a finished, low-profile appearance with adequate bearing surface
• Phillips drive, number 3 bit size, for fast installation with standard power tools
• Grade 1016-1024 steel construction for reliable mechanical strength in light-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in indoor and protected environments
• Meets AISI 1016, ANSI/ASME B18.6.4, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J933 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard size 12 oval head sheet metal screw suitable for thin to medium gauge sheet metal, HVAC ductwork panels, electrical enclosures, and similar light-gauge metal assemblies where a Type AB point and Phillips drive are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a number 3 Phillips bit with a hand screwdriver or power driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the sheet metal. De-energize any electrical equipment and relieve system pressure before fastening panels or enclosures. Avoid over-driving, which can distort thin gauge material or strip the thread engagement. Follow applicable NEC or IFGC guidelines when securing electrical or HVAC equipment panels.
