Value Collection 696415PR Size 14 Pan Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 696415PR is a No. 14 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal components in light-gauge fabrication, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal assembly. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. The Type A point — a sharp, spaced-thread point — self-pierces thin sheet metal without a pre-drilled pilot hole in many applications. Made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, this screw measures 2.5 inches in length under head. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

This fastener is suited for residential and light commercial trade work where No. 14 sheet metal screws are called for. Common applications include securing HVAC duct sections and registers, mounting electrical junction box covers, fastening sheet metal panels on equipment cabinets, and general metal-to-metal assembly. The pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wide bearing surface, which is useful when fastening thinner or softer gauge stock where a flat head or hex washer head is not specified.

Key Features

• No. 14 thread size with Type A self-piercing point for use in thin sheet metal
• Pan head profile provides broad bearing surface and low-profile appearance
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bit drivers
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered applications
• Grade 2 steel construction suited for light-duty sheet metal fastening
• Sold in multiples of 100 — appropriate for production assembly and service truck stock

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 14 pan head sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies where a Type A point, slotted drive, and zinc-finished steel fastener meets the application requirement.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general sheet metal fabricators using a flat-blade screwdriver or a slotted bit driver. Always de-energize electrical equipment and relieve any system pressure before opening panels or enclosures. For Type A point screws, confirm gauge thickness is within the recommended range for self-piercing — very heavy gauge stock may require a pilot hole. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the thread engagement in thin material.
