Value Collection 696389PR Sheet Metal Screw No. 10 Pan Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 696389PR is a No. 10 pan head sheet metal screw with a slotted drive, designed for fastening sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar thin materials common in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and plumbing equipment panels. The screw measures 2 inches in length under the head and features a Type A point for self-starting penetration into pre-punched or drilled sheet metal. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw suits general indoor trade applications where a low-profile pan head and tool-compatible slotted drive are required.

This screw is used in residential and light commercial mechanical applications where technicians need a reliable, standard-size sheet metal fastener. Typical install scenarios include securing duct covers, access panels, junction box lids, equipment shrouds, and sheet metal flanges. The pan head provides a broad bearing surface suitable for thin-gauge material. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flathead screwdrivers and slotted power bits. Sold as a package of 1 with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers as part of routine equipment assembly or panel service. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure before fastening or removing covers. Use a slotted flathead screwdriver or matching power bit to avoid cam-out damage to the drive slot. Ensure the receiving material is pre-punched or drilled to the appropriate pilot size for a No. 10 Type A screw before driving.
