Value Collection 696359PR Sheet Metal Screw No. 6 Pan Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 696359PR is a No. 6 pan head slotted sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, ductwork, housings, and similar light-gauge sheet metal assemblies. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this screw measures 1.5 inches in length under the head and features a Type A point for self-tapping entry into pre-punched or pre-drilled sheet metal. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. It is a staple fastener for HVAC duct fabrication, electrical panel assemblies, and general sheet metal work across residential and light commercial applications.

This screw is well suited for trade professionals including HVAC installers, sheet metal workers, and electricians who require a reliable, standardized fastener for light-gauge metal substrates. The Type A point self-taps into sheet metal without the need for a nut, making installation straightforward in single-thickness or stacked sheet metal scenarios. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 units, this fastener is intended for production or service work where consistent supply of a common size is necessary.

Key Features

• No. 6 thread size in inch measurement system for standard sheet metal fastening
• 1.5-inch length under head accommodates light-gauge single and stacked sheet metal applications
• Type A self-tapping point eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes in sheet metal
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load and sits flush-proud on the workpiece surface
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bits
• Zinc finish provides baseline corrosion resistance for indoor and protected outdoor installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Type A sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge steel panels, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar metal assemblies where a No. 6 pan head slotted fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians as part of duct fabrication, enclosure assembly, and panel work. Power down or de-energize any electrical equipment before driving fasteners into or near energized enclosures, in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout/tagout requirements. Use a properly sized flat-blade screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. Do not overdrive — strip-out in thin sheet metal is irreversible without a larger fastener or grommet repair.
