Value Collection 32106 No.12 Pan Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32106 is a No. 12 pan head Phillips drive sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal, light gauge steel, and similar thin materials in trade and industrial applications. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw measures 1 inch in length under head and features a Type AB point for self-starting penetration without pre-drilling in many applications. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators reach for this fastener when assembling HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and light structural panels.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial applications wherever No. 12 sheet metal fasteners are required. Typical uses include HVAC duct fabrication and attachment, electrical panel and enclosure assembly, metal framing, and general light-gauge sheet metal work. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface that distributes clamping load without sharp edges, making it a reliable choice for exposed or semi-exposed fastening points in both field and shop settings.

Key Features

• No. 12 thread size for secure grip in light-gauge sheet metal
• Type AB point for self-starting entry into sheet metal without pre-drilling in many applications
• Pan head profile delivers a broad bearing surface and low-profile finish
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power and hand drivers
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion protection
• 1 inch length under head suits a range of standard sheet metal thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 12 pan head Phillips Type AB sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies across HVAC, electrical, and general metal fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and metal fabricators using a Phillips-tip power driver or hand screwdriver. Ensure the workpiece material is properly supported and clamped before driving. Do not overtorque — pan head screws in light-gauge material are susceptible to stripping if driven past seating. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA standards for duct fastening or NEC requirements for electrical enclosure assembly where relevant.
