The screw features a hex drive head, a Type A point for self-starting into pre-punched or drilled holes, and a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance. Constructed from Grade 2 steel, it measures 1 inch in length under the head. This fastener is sold in quantities of 100 and is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general tradespeople.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is suited for residential and light commercial sheet metal assembly, including duct connections, junction box covers, electrical enclosures, and metal panel attachments. The hex head design allows for installation with a nut driver or hex socket, which is standard practice in duct fabrication and HVAC equipment assembly. The Type A point requires a pre-punched or drilled pilot hole and is appropriate for use in thin-gauge sheet metal applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch thread size for secure fastening in thin-gauge sheet metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-inch length under head suits standard sheet metal panel thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head and hex drive for use with nut drivers or hex sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType A point for use with pre-punched or pre-drilled holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction for standard-duty fastening tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for standard sheet metal assemblies requiring a 3\/8-inch hex head screw with a Type A point and 1-inch under-head length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, or electricians using a nut driver or hex socket sized for the hex head. Ensure a proper pilot hole is drilled or punched in the workpiece before driving the screw, as the Type A point is not self-drilling. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can strip the threads in thin-gauge sheet metal. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA standards for duct fastener spacing and requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\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: 0.04 pounds\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: 696563PR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51714276589874,"sku":"696563PR","price":6679.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/08721c06ffcd21517efdaed01844646e.jpg?v=1788498752","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-696563pr-hex-head-sheet-metal-screw-3-8","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
