Value Collection 38327 No. 6 X 3/8 in Pan Head Sheet Metal Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38327 is a No. 6 pan head Phillips drive sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge sheet metal and similar thin materials. Measuring 3/8 inches in length under head, this Type AB point screw is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in standard service environments. The pan head profile sits flush against the workpiece surface without requiring a countersunk hole, and the Phillips drive is compatible with standard power and hand drivers. This package contains 50 screws.

These screws are suited for HVAC ductwork fabrication and assembly, electrical enclosure work, light sheet metal fabrication, and general trade applications where a small-diameter, short-length fastener is required. The Type AB thread form is self-tapping into pre-punched or drilled pilot holes in sheet steel, light aluminum, and similar substrates. The zinc-plated finish makes them appropriate for indoor or dry service conditions.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 Type AB pan head sheet metal screw suitable for use in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general light-gauge sheet metal assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a Phillips-head bit and a hand or cordless driver. Pilot hole size should match the thread diameter requirements for the substrate material to prevent stripping or cracking. Do not overdrive — pan head screws in sheet metal applications can strip the pilot hole or distort the material if excess torque is applied.
