Value Collection 38709 Size 6 Pan Head Sheet Metal Screw 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38709 is a size 6 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal and light-gauge materials in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. The dual-drive slotted and Phillips head accepts a standard flat-blade or Phillips driver, giving technicians flexibility in tight spaces. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, these screws provide corrosion resistance suitable for indoor mechanical and electrical enclosure work. Each screw measures 3/4 inches in length under the head. This package contains 50 screws, making it practical for service calls and shop stock.

These screws are used wherever sheet metal panels, ductwork flanges, electrical boxes, or junction covers require a reliable mechanical fastener. The Type AB point type is self-tapping, allowing the screw to form its own thread in thin-gauge sheet metal without a pre-tapped hole. Common install scenarios include HVAC cabinet assembly, duct board attachment, electrical enclosure covers, and light-gauge metal framing connections. The pan head profile sits low and distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface than a flat head, reducing the chance of material deformation on thin stock.

Key Features

• Type AB self-tapping point — no pre-tapped hole required in thin sheet metal
• Dual-drive head accepts both slotted flat-blade and Phillips drivers
• Pan head profile spreads clamping load and reduces material deformation
• Grade 2 steel with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in indoor environments
• 3/4-inch length under head suits standard sheet metal panel and enclosure cover thickness
• 50-piece pack supports service stock and multi-point installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard size 6 Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for thin-gauge sheet metal, HVAC ductwork panels, electrical enclosures, and similar light-gauge metal assemblies where a 3/4-inch pan head fastener is required.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver or powered driver. De-energize and lock out any electrical enclosure or HVAC unit before fastening or removing panel covers. Avoid overtightening, which can strip threads in thin-gauge material or crack the zinc plating. When used in electrical enclosures, verify fastener size and placement comply with applicable NEC requirements for the equipment being serviced.
