Value Collection 696387PR No. 10 Pan Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 696387PR is a No. 10 pan head slotted sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge metal to metal or metal to other substrates. Measuring 1.5 inches under the head, this Type A point screw is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. The pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface and low-profile installation. This fastener is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, electricians, and plumbers during duct assembly, panel attachment, and general metal fabrication work. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per transaction.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where sheet metal fastening is required. Typical uses include HVAC duct work, electrical enclosure assembly, metal roofing components, and general sheet metal fabrication. The Type A point is self-tapping into thin-gauge sheet metal, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole in most light-gauge applications. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver or bit, making it compatible with common hand tools and power drivers.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size for secure grip in light-gauge sheet metal
• 1.5-inch length under head for adequate thread engagement in layered materials
• Type A self-tapping point eliminates need for pre-tapped holes in thin-gauge metal
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wide bearing surface
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion protection for indoor and sheltered applications
• Grade 2 steel construction meets standard mechanical requirements for sheet metal fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 Type A pan head sheet metal screw compatible with light-gauge metal fabrication and assembly applications across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted power bit. No pre-drilling is required in most light-gauge sheet metal applications due to the Type A self-tapping point, though pilot holes may be needed in heavier gauge material. Apply consistent torque to avoid stripping the slotted drive or over-driving the fastener through thin panels. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA duct construction standards or NEC enclosure requirements when selecting fastener quantity and spacing.
