Value Collection 696357PR Size 6 Pan Head Slotted Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 696357PR is a No. 6 pan head sheet metal screw with a slotted drive and Type A point, designed for fastening sheet metal and light-gauge materials in mechanical and trade applications. The screw measures 1 inch in length under the head and is made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance. The slotted drive works with a standard flat-blade screwdriver or bit. These screws are used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general trade installers for securing sheet metal panels, brackets, and enclosures.

This screw is suited for light sheet metal assembly tasks common in residential and light commercial work. Typical applications include HVAC duct work enclosures, electrical panel knockouts, metal junction boxes, and equipment access panels. The Type A point is self-tapping into thin sheet metal, reducing the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole in many materials. This item is sold individually but requires a minimum order of 100 units per purchase.

Key Features

• No. 6 thread size for light sheet metal fastening
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wider surface area
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade bits and screwdrivers
• Type A point is self-tapping for thin sheet metal applications
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance
• 1 inch length under head suits common sheet metal panel thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 Type A pan head sheet metal screw suitable for use with thin-gauge sheet metal, light steel enclosures, and metal fabrication assemblies where a slotted pan head fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit driver. Ensure the material being fastened is adequately supported before driving to avoid deformation of thin-gauge metal. For HVAC duct and enclosure applications, follow applicable mechanical codes for fastener spacing. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the threads or deform the sheet metal around the fastener hole.
