Value Collection 3SSTPF14104 Flat Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3SSTPF14104 is a No. 14 flat head Phillips sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal assembly. Made from grade 18-8 stainless steel, it offers reliable corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor service environments. The flat head profile sits flush with the material surface upon installation. The Type A point provides self-starting penetration into thin sheet metal without requiring a pre-drilled pilot hole in many applications. Overall length is 1.25 inches, and the Phillips drive size is No. 3. This fastener meets ASME B18.6.3 standards and is sold in lots of 100 pieces minimum.

This screw is suited for use in residential and light commercial applications where sheet metal panels, covers, brackets, and duct components need to be joined or secured. HVAC technicians commonly use No. 14 Type A sheet metal screws when assembling or servicing duct sections, unit access panels, and equipment housings. Electricians use similar fasteners when securing metal electrical enclosures and junction box covers. The flush flat head is especially useful where clearance is tight or where a low-profile finish is required against a mating surface.

Key Features

• No. 14 thread size for high-grip fastening in sheet metal substrates
• Flat head profile sits flush with the work surface for a clean, low-profile finish
• No. 3 Phillips drive for compatibility with standard power drivers and hand tools
• Type A point for self-starting penetration into thin gauge sheet metal
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 14 Type A flat head Phillips sheet metal screw suitable for use in thin gauge sheet metal assemblies across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general trade applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a No. 3 Phillips bit using a hand screwdriver or power driver set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid overdriving and stripping the fastener head. For harder or thicker gauge metal, a pilot hole may improve thread engagement and reduce material distortion. Confirm the substrate gauge is appropriate for a No. 14 Type A point before installation. Always de-energize electrical equipment before fastening covers or panels on energized systems.
