Value Collection 32117 Pan Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32117 is a Type AB pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar thin materials in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical trade applications. It features a 1/4-inch thread size and measures 1-1/4 inches in length under the head. The Grade 2 steel construction with a zinc finish provides corrosion resistance suited to typical indoor mechanical installations. The Phillips drive allows for quick installation with standard power and hand tools. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers commonly use this style of screw for duct work, panel enclosures, and equipment housings.

This screw is appropriate for light commercial and residential applications where a self-tapping Type AB thread form is required in thin-gauge sheet metal assemblies. It is a standard trade fastener stocked for common field and shop use in duct fabrication, electrical enclosures, control panel assembly, and general mechanical trade work. Sold in minimum order quantities of 25 per order.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, or electricians using a No. 2 Phillips bit in a power driver or hand screwdriver. Power down and de-energize any electrical enclosure or HVAC equipment before fastening or removing panels. Do not overtighten in thin-gauge material, as the Type AB thread can strip the base material if excessive torque is applied. Follow applicable local mechanical and electrical codes when securing access panels or enclosures.
