Value Collection 32108 No.12 Pan Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32108 is a No. 12 pan head Phillips drive sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin-gauge metal components in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication work. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw measures 1.5 inches in length under the head and features a Type AB point for self-starting penetration into pre-punched or drilled sheet metal. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface suitable for flush and near-flush installations. This screw is sold in multiples of 25 units per order.

This fastener is used across residential and light commercial applications wherever sheet metal panels, ductwork sections, junction boxes, or enclosures require secure mechanical attachment. Common install scenarios include HVAC duct assembly, electrical panel fabrication, and general sheet metal work in mechanical rooms or utility spaces. The Type AB thread form is suited to sheet metal gauges typically found in these trade applications. Installers ordering this SKU should note the minimum order quantity of 25 pieces.

Key Features

• No. 12 thread size for reliable grip in standard sheet metal gauges
• 1.5-inch length under head accommodates common stack thicknesses
• Type AB point self-starts in pre-punched or pilot-drilled sheet metal
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power and hand tools
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor mechanical environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 12 Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for use in standard sheet metal fastening applications including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light fabrication assemblies.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal fabricators using a Phillips bit driver or cordless drill at controlled torque to avoid stripping the drive or distorting the workpiece. Pilot holes or pre-punched openings appropriate for a No. 12 screw should be prepared before driving. Disconnect power to any electrical enclosure or HVAC unit before fastening panels or covers. Do not overdrive — seat the head flush without compressing or deforming the metal substrate.
