The slotted Phillips drive accepts both flat-blade and Phillips drivers, offering flexibility in the field. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw resists corrosion in typical indoor and light-exposure installations. The Type AB point self-taps into pre-drilled or punched sheet metal without requiring a separate tapping operation. At 0.75 inches length under head, it is suited for thin-gauge panel and duct assembly work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw sees regular use in residential and light commercial HVAC duct fabrication, sheet metal panel assembly, electrical enclosure work, and equipment cover fastening. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface that sits flush against sheet metal without requiring countersinking. The zinc-plated finish is appropriate for indoor and semi-exposed conditions where moderate corrosion resistance is needed. Technicians in HVAC, plumbing rough-in, and electrical trades commonly use this fastener for securing access panels, junction covers, and duct sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo. 10 thread size with Type AB self-tapping point for direct drive into sheet metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePan head profile provides broad bearing surface without countersinking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual-drive slotted Phillips design accepts flat-blade or Phillips drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.75 inches length under head suited for thin-gauge sheet metal assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard No. 10 Type AB pan head sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge steel sheet metal applications typical of HVAC duct work, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal panel fastening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, or electricians using a hand screwdriver or power driver set to low torque to avoid stripping the pan head drive recess. Ensure the workpiece is de-energized and any gas or refrigerant lines in the immediate area are isolated before disassembling panels. Use of a center punch or pre-drilled pilot hole is recommended in harder-gauge materials to guide the Type AB point. Follow applicable codes including NEC or IFGC as appropriate to the installation context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pan Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Slotted Phillips\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type AB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38729\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692505792818,"sku":"38729","price":18.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/899e1d42a79dcf1f933bc25ed57510da.jpg?v=1788298592","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-38729-no-10-pan-head-sheet-metal-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
