Value Collection 32112 Pan Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32112 is a 1/4 inch pan head Phillips sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal and light-gauge materials in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. Manufactured from Grade 1016-1024 carbon steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw provides reliable corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty outdoor use. The Type AB point style allows for self-tapping entry into pre-punched or drilled sheet metal without requiring a separate nut. A No. 3 Phillips drive ensures positive bit engagement during installation. This fastener is sold in minimum quantities of 50 per order.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians for securing ductwork panels, junction box covers, equipment enclosures, and light-gauge sheet metal assemblies. The pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface and low-profile seating, making it suitable for applications where flush clearance is not required but a clean, secure mechanical connection is needed.

Key Features

• Type AB self-tapping point for use in sheet metal and pre-punched holes
• Grade 1016-1024 carbon steel construction for reliable tensile strength
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in general indoor use
• No. 3 Phillips drive for positive bit engagement and reduced cam-out
• Pan head profile provides wide bearing surface and low-profile seating
• Meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4 inch Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, and general electrical enclosure fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, and electricians using a No. 3 Phillips bit and a power driver or manual screwdriver. Ensure the workpiece is properly supported and that pilot holes or pre-punched openings match the thread size before driving. Do not overtorque, as overtightening in thin-gauge material can strip the thread engagement. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA duct construction standards when using fasteners in HVAC ductwork assemblies.
