Value Collection 696383PR Sheet Metal Screw Size 10 Pan Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 696383PR is a size 10 pan head sheet metal screw with a slotted drive, designed for fastening sheet metal and light-gauge materials in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general mechanical assembly applications. It features a Type AB point for self-starting in pre-punched or pre-drilled holes. The screw measures 0.75 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces, this fastener is suited for trade professionals who need reliable, standardized hardware for panel assembly, ductwork, and equipment enclosure work.

This screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC duct fabrication, electrical enclosure assembly, and general sheet metal work. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface suitable for joining thin-gauge metal panels. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flathead screwdrivers. The Type AB point is designed to cut its own thread path in sheet metal, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole in most light-gauge applications.

Key Features

• Size 10 thread for standard sheet metal fastening applications
• 0.75 inch length under head for light-gauge material joining
• Type AB point self-starts in pre-punched or pre-drilled sheet metal
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a broad bearing surface
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for general-duty corrosion resistance
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flathead screwdrivers

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-duty sheet metal fastener for use with light-gauge steel panels and enclosures typical in HVAC duct systems, electrical boxes, and general mechanical assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand tool or power driver using a standard flathead bit. Pre-punch or pre-drill the base material to the appropriate pilot hole size for the Type AB point before driving. Ensure the workpiece is secured before fastening to prevent material movement. Follow applicable codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and edge distance in structural or pressure-rated assemblies.
