Value Collection 32096 No.10 Pan Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32096 is a No. 10 pan head Phillips sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal, sheet stock, and light-gauge materials in a wide range of trade and industrial applications. The screw measures 1 inch in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance for general-purpose use. The pan head profile offers a low-profile bearing surface and the Phillips drive allows for fast installation with standard hand tools or power drivers. These screws are sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 units and are sized to the inch measurement system.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC ductwork fabrication, electrical enclosure assembly, metal framing, and light sheet metal fabrication work. The No. 10 thread size and 1-inch length under head make it suitable for joining thin sheet metal panels, attaching brackets, and securing covers or access panels where a flush-to-low-profile head is preferred. Licensed tradespeople in HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical work regularly stock this fastener for field use.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or power driver with a Phillips bit sized for a No. 10 fastener. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in harder or thicker stock is recommended to prevent material distortion and ensure proper thread engagement. Follow applicable codes such as the SMACNA guidelines for ductwork fastening or the NEC for electrical enclosure assembly where relevant. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can strip threads in thin-gauge material.
