It features a Type A point for self-starting in pre-punched or drilled sheet metal without a separate pilot hole. The screw measures 1.25 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance. The hex head accepts a standard hex driver or socket, making installation fast in production or field settings. This fastener is sold in multiples of 100 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is commonly used in ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, sheet metal panel attachment, and light structural joining where a self-tapping fastener is required. The hex drive style allows for high torque application with power tools, making it well-suited for repetitive installs on the job site or in a fabrication shop. It is appropriate for use in residential and commercial HVAC installations, electrical rough-in work, and similar trades where sheet metal fastening is routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch thread size for secure grip in sheet metal and light-gauge steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType A point self-starts in pre-punched or drilled holes without a pilot tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head and hex drive allow high-torque installation with standard sockets or hex-tip drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction provides reliable tensile strength for general trade use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected outdoor applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in minimum order quantity of 100 units for job-site and shop inventory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard inch-series Type A sheet metal screw suitable for use with pre-punched or drilled sheet metal assemblies common in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified trades professional or experienced fabricator using an appropriate hex-drive socket or bit. Ensure the receiving material is pre-punched or drilled to the correct diameter for a 5\/16-inch Type A thread before driving. Do not overtighten, as sheet metal fasteners can strip thin-gauge material if excessive torque is applied. Follow applicable NEC or SMACNA guidelines where this fastener is used in code-governed assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\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\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161506\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 units\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: 696561PR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731612926258,"sku":"696561PR","price":4297.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/03b32ab6a70dae115c22f2bcdbe87677.jpg?v=1788733174","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-696561pr-hex-head-sheet-metal-screw-5-16","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
