Value Collection 40787 Pan Head Sheet Metal Screw No. 10

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40787 is a No. 10 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal assemblies in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication work. The square drive recess provides positive bit engagement and reduces cam-out during installation. Measuring 1.5 inches under the head, this screw features a Type AB point for self-starting penetration into light-gauge sheet metal without pre-drilling. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it offers corrosion resistance suitable for dry interior applications. Each package contains 50 pieces.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, and general sheet metal joining tasks. The pan head profile sits flush against the workpiece surface and distributes clamping load evenly across thin material. The Type AB point is suited for threading into pre-punched or self-pierced holes in sheet metal and works with standard square drive bits. Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians in both residential and light commercial settings.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size for reliable grip in light-gauge sheet metal
• 1.5-inch length under head accommodates typical sheet metal stack-ups
• Square drive reduces cam-out compared to slotted or Phillips alternatives
• Type AB point self-starts in pre-punched holes without pre-drilling
• Zinc-plated Grade 2 steel finish provides corrosion resistance for dry interior use
• Sold in a 50-piece package for job-site and shop convenience

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 Type AB pan head sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal applications typical of HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general metal fabrication.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, or electricians using a square drive bit of the appropriate size. Ensure the workpiece is secured before driving screws to prevent material distortion. Do not overtighten in thin-gauge material, as this can strip the thread or deform the sheet. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA standards for ductwork fastener spacing when used in HVAC applications.
