Value Collection 696408PS Sheet Metal Screw No. 14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 696408PS is a No. 14 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal and light-gauge materials in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. It features a slotted drive, a Type A point for self-starting into pre-punched or drilled sheet metal, and a 0.75 inch length measured under the head. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this screw is a standard consumable used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers on the job.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a reliable No. 14 sheet metal fastener is required. Common uses include securing duct panels, electrical enclosures, junction box covers, and other sheet metal assemblies. The pan head profile sits flush against the work surface and distributes clamping load across a wider bearing area, making it appropriate for thin-gauge metal where a flat or oval head may pull through. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• No. 14 thread size for high-clamping force in sheet metal applications
• Type A point self-starts in pre-punched or drilled sheet metal without a pilot tap
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface on thin-gauge material
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bit drivers
• Zinc finish over Grade 2 steel provides basic corrosion protection
• 0.75 inch length under head suits typical light-gauge sheet metal stack-ups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 14 Type A pan head sheet metal screw for use in pre-punched or drilled sheet metal assemblies common in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light-gauge metal fabrication.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a flat-blade screwdriver or a slotted bit driver. Ensure the receiving material is pre-punched or drilled to the correct pilot hole diameter for a No. 14 Type A screw before driving. Do not overdrive — excess torque can strip the thread form in thin-gauge sheet metal or crack the zinc finish. De-energize electrical equipment and follow applicable NFPA 70 or OSHA lockout/tagout procedures before fastening inside energized enclosures.
