Value Collection 32103 No. 12 Pan Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32103 is a No. 12 pan head Phillips drive sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal and light-gauge materials in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. The screw measures 0.625 inches in length under the head and features a Type AB point for quick thread engagement without pre-drilling in many sheet metal gauges. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, it provides corrosion resistance suitable for standard indoor installations. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, this fastener is sized for high-volume service and maintenance work.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers for securing duct covers, electrical enclosures, junction box knockouts, and light sheet metal panels. The pan head profile distributes clamping load across a broad bearing surface, reducing the risk of pull-through in thinner stock. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power drivers and hand screwdrivers widely carried on service trucks.

Key Features

• No. 12 thread size for reliable engagement in standard sheet metal gauges
• 0.625-inch length under head suits shallow-stack fastening applications
• Type AB point self-starts in pre-punched or drilled holes without a tap
• Pan head profile provides broad bearing surface to reduce pull-through
• Zinc finish over Grade 2 steel offers corrosion resistance for interior use
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 tip drivers

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 12 pan head Phillips Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for use in HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication where a 0.625-inch fastener length is specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws should be installed by qualified tradespeople following applicable codes such as the NEC or SMACNA standards for the relevant trade. Ensure the workpiece is de-energized and secured before fastening. Use a No. 2 Phillips bit at appropriate torque to avoid cam-out or overdriving, which can strip the material or compromise the joint. Do not reuse sheet metal screws that have been removed from a joint, as thread deformation reduces holding strength.
