Value Collection 38340 No.10 Pan Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38340 is a No. 10 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin-gauge metal, sheet stock, and light fabrication assemblies. It features a Phillips drive recess and a low-profile pan head that sits flush against the work surface without the sharp edge of a hex or truss head. The shank measures 1 inch in length under head, and the fastener is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a black oxide finish that provides mild corrosion resistance in indoor applications. This screw is a standard consumable used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general sheet metal fabricators on a daily basis.

This fastener is suited for light-duty sheet metal work across residential and commercial trade applications. Common uses include securing duct panels, junction box knockouts, electrical enclosure covers, equipment access panels, and similar thin-material assemblies. The pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface than a flat head, making it preferable where countersinking is not practical. Sold in multiples of 50 units, this SKU is sized for job-site replenishment and service-van stocking.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size for reliable thread engagement in standard sheet metal gauges
• 1 inch length under head accommodates typical single- and double-layer sheet metal joints
• Pan head profile provides wide bearing surface without requiring countersinking
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power drivers and manual screwdrivers
• Black oxide finish on Grade 2 steel provides mild rust resistance for indoor use
• Sold in minimum quantities of 50 for efficient job-site and van-stock replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 10 pan head sheet metal screw suitable for standard sheet metal fastening tasks in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light fabrication assemblies.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a Phillips-tip power driver or manual screwdriver. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and shut down HVAC equipment before fastening access panels or duct sections. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended when working with heavier-gauge stock to prevent material distortion. Do not overtorque, as Grade 2 steel screws can shear at excessive drive torque.
