Value Collection -32058-1/2 Flat Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -32058-1/2 is a No. 4 flat head Phillips drive sheet metal screw designed for fastening into thin metal, sheet metal assemblies, and light-gauge materials. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw features a Type AB point for easy starting without a pre-drilled pilot hole in most applications. It measures 1/2 inch in overall length and is packaged in a 50-piece pack, making it well-suited for service vans, job-site bins, and shop stock. Plumbers, HVAC techs, electricians, and sheet metal workers commonly use this screw type for securing panels, brackets, and ductwork components.

This screw is appropriate for light-duty residential and commercial fastening tasks involving thin sheet metal gauges. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when installed, making it a preferred choice where a low-profile finish is required. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits and magnetic nut drivers. Typical applications include HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and sheet metal ductwork. The Type AB thread form is self-tapping and provides reliable thread engagement in steel sheet without requiring a tapped hole.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers using a No. 2 Phillips bit or magnetic driver. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and power down equipment before fastening panels or covers. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the thread form in thin-gauge material or crack the head. For code-governed installations, verify fastener requirements with applicable mechanical or electrical codes such as the NEC or IFGC.
