Value Collection 32116 Pan Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32116 is a 1/4-inch pan head Phillips sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, ductwork, and enclosures. The Type AB point allows the screw to self-tap into pre-drilled or punched sheet metal without requiring a nut or separate fastener. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, this screw resists light corrosion and meets standard fastening requirements for trade and light industrial applications. Length under head measures 1 inch. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers use this fastener type daily in panel assembly and equipment housing installations.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial applications involving sheet metal gauges typically found in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and equipment panels. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface and works with standard Phillips drive bits. The zinc finish is appropriate for dry or mildly corrosive indoor environments. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 25 units per order.

Key Features

• Type AB point self-taps into sheet metal without a nut
• Pan head profile with Phillips drive for standard bit compatibility
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for sheet metal fastening
• Zinc finish for corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments
• 1 inch length under head for consistent, measurable depth control
• Inch system sizing — 1/4-inch thread for common sheet metal applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-inch Type AB pan head Phillips sheet metal screw suitable for use in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, equipment panels, and general sheet metal fabrication where a 1/4-inch self-tapping fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Install with a Phillips bit and appropriately sized drill or driver. Pre-drill or punch the sheet metal to the correct pilot hole size for the thread diameter before driving. Power down any electrical equipment or shut off airflow before fastening panels or enclosures. Avoid overtightening, which can strip threads in thinner gauge sheet metal.
