Value Collection 38338 No. 10 Pan Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38338 is a No. 10 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal, sheet goods, and light fabrication work. It features a Phillips drive, a Type AB point for self-starting penetration, and a black oxide finish that provides mild corrosion resistance in indoor applications. The screw measures 0.5 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel. The pan head profile sits low and distributes clamping load evenly across the fastened surface. This screw is sold in quantities of 50 and is a standard fastener used across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general sheet metal trades.

This fastener is suited for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies, duct work connections, electrical enclosures, junction box covers, and similar thin-material applications in both residential and commercial settings. The Type AB point is compatible with pre-drilled or punched holes and will self-tap into sheet metal without requiring a separate tapping operation. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal workers commonly use this screw for panel and enclosure assembly.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size for reliable engagement in light-gauge sheet metal
• Phillips drive for fast installation with standard screwdrivers and power drivers
• Type AB point self-starts in pre-drilled or punched holes without a separate tap
• Black oxide finish provides mild surface protection for indoor use
• Pan head profile distributes load and sits flush with surface edges
• Grade 2 steel construction for standard-duty fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 pan head Phillips sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal, duct assemblies, electrical enclosures, and general trade fastening applications where a Type AB point and black oxide finish are specified.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or power driver set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the pan head. Power down all electrical equipment and de-energize enclosures before fastening covers or panels. Ensure the base material is properly supported and that the pilot hole or punched opening matches the No. 10 thread diameter. Follow applicable NEC or IFGC guidelines when securing electrical or HVAC enclosure components.
