It features a slotted drive, a Type A point for self-starting penetration without a pilot hole, and a zinc finish for corrosion resistance in typical indoor service environments. The screw is manufactured from Grade 2 steel, offering adequate tensile strength for standard sheet metal fastening tasks. Length under head measures 0.5 inches. These screws are sold in multiples of 100 and are a common consumable for HVAC installers, electricians, and sheet metal fabricators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fastener is well suited for residential and light commercial applications including HVAC duct assembly, equipment panels, electrical junction boxes, and general sheet metal fabrication work. The pan head profile provides a broad bearing surface and low-profile appearance, making it appropriate where flush or countersunk heads are not required. The slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers and compatible power driver bits. Type A point geometry is intended for use in light-gauge sheet metal and is not recommended for heavy plate or structural applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo. 12 thread size for solid engagement in light-gauge sheet metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType A self-starting point eliminates the need for a pilot hole in thin material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePan head profile provides wide bearing surface without countersinking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlotted drive accepts flat-blade screwdrivers and standard power driver bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc finish provides corrosion resistance for typical indoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction meets standard strength requirements for sheet metal fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or consumable fastener for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies, HVAC duct systems, electrical enclosures, and equipment panels requiring a No. 12 pan head slotted sheet metal screw with Type A point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSheet metal screws of this type are typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a flat-blade screwdriver or a slotted power driver bit. Ensure the mating material is properly supported before driving to prevent deformation of thin-gauge panels. Do not overdrive, as the Type A point and pan head are not designed to seat flush and overtightening may strip the material. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA duct construction standards for HVAC applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Slotted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 696394PR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691709235506,"sku":"696394PR","price":1443.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/dc51596eb66464b6411c455b4379c933.jpg?v=1788288773","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-696394pr-no-12-pan-head-sheet-metal-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
