Value Collection 696360PS No.6 Pan Head Slotted Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 696360PS is a No. 6 pan head sheet metal screw with a slotted drive and Type A point, intended for fastening into sheet metal, thin steel, and similar light-gauge materials. It measures 1-3/4 inches in length under head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and light-duty applications. The Type A point is self-tapping, allowing it to thread directly into pre-punched or drilled holes without a separate nut. This fastener is a standard stocking item for HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, electricians, and plumbers who need reliable, consistent fasteners for panel access covers, ductwork, junction boxes, and similar assemblies.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal fabrication and assembly work in residential and commercial settings. Typical applications include securing HVAC duct panels and access doors, attaching electrical enclosure covers, and general sheet metal joining where a low-profile pan head and slotted drive are specified. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver or matching bit driver. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order, making it appropriate for shop stock or job-lot replenishment.

Key Features

• Type A self-tapping point threads directly into sheet metal without a separate nut
• Pan head profile sits low and distributes clamping load across the material surface
• Slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bit drivers
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected installations
• Grade 2 steel construction for consistent mechanical performance in light-duty fastening
• 1-3/4 inch length under head accommodates typical light-gauge sheet metal stack-ups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 Type A pan head sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies typical of HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver or matching slotted bit driver. A pre-punched or drilled pilot hole sized for the No. 6 thread is recommended to ensure proper thread engagement and prevent material distortion. De-energize any electrical enclosure or HVAC unit before fastening access panels or covers. Do not overdrive; stop when the head seats flush against the material surface to avoid stripping the self-tapped threads.
