Value Collection 3TSTWH10200 Sheet Metal Screw No. 10

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3TSTWH10200 is a No. 10 sheet metal screw with a hex washer head and slotted drive, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. At 2 inches in length under the head, this fastener is sized for medium-depth sheet metal and thin-material applications. Grade 316 stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard 304 grade, making it well suited for wet, marine, or chemically exposed environments. The hex washer head design combines a built-in washer flange with hex drive geometry, distributing clamp load and providing a positive grip surface for installation tools.

This screw is used in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication work where corrosion resistance is a priority. Typical applications include securing duct sections, junction box covers, equipment panels, and thin-gauge metal components in coastal, outdoor, or high-humidity environments. The slotted drive allows installation with a standard flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit driver. Minimum order quantity is 25 units per order.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion resistance in wet and marine environments
• Hex washer head distributes clamping load and prevents pull-through on thin-gauge sheet metal
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted power bits
• 2-inch length under head suitable for moderate-depth fastening in sheet metal assemblies
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and avoids coating degradation in harsh conditions
• No. 10 thread size is a common trade-standard diameter for HVAC and sheet metal applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 sheet metal screw for use in HVAC ductwork, equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication requiring Grade 316 stainless steel fasteners.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by qualified HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, plumbers, and electricians during fabrication and field assembly work. Always pre-drill or use a self-drilling pilot where required by material gauge to avoid distortion or fastener failure. Ensure the work surface is clamped or secured before driving fasteners, and use appropriate personal protective equipment when working with sharp-edged sheet metal. Do not over-torque slotted drive fasteners, as the drive recess is susceptible to cam-out under excessive torque.
