Value Collection 5.14A12RS No. 14 Round Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The Value Collection 5.14A12RS is a No. 14 round head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal and light-gauge materials in trade and industrial applications. Featuring a slotted drive and a Type A point, this screw is self-starting in pre-drilled or punched holes and requires no tapping. The 0.5 inch length is measured under the head. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, it resists corrosion in wet, coastal, or chemically exposed environments, making it a reliable choice for HVAC enclosures, electrical panels, and plumbing fixtures where standard carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

This fastener suits a wide range of light-gauge sheet metal assembly tasks encountered in residential and commercial HVAC installation, electrical enclosure work, ductwork fabrication, and general mechanical trade work. The round head profile distributes clamping load over a broad surface area, reducing the chance of pull-through in thinner gauge material. Licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers commonly keep this size stocked for enclosure repair and panel attachment tasks. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 per purchase, this screw is intended for shop stock and job-site inventory.

Key Features

• No. 14 thread size for secure engagement in light-gauge sheet metal
• Round head profile provides broad bearing surface to resist pull-through
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and power bits
• Type A point is self-starting in pre-punched or pre-drilled holes
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in damp and chemically active environments
• 0.5 inch length under head suits thin to medium gauge sheet metal applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 14 Type A sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trade applications.

Installation Notes

Install with a flat-blade screwdriver or a slotted power bit at low torque to avoid cam-out or head damage on stainless steel fasteners. Power down all electrical equipment and depressurize or isolate any fluid systems before accessing enclosures or panels. Do not overtighten — stainless steel fasteners are subject to galling when driven at excessive speed or torque. Follow applicable NEC or IFGC panel-access and enclosure requirements for the specific installation.
