Value Collection 696565PR Sheet Metal Screw Hex Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 696565PR is a hex head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal and light-gauge materials in trade and industrial applications. This screw features a Type A point for self-starting entry into pre-punched or pre-drilled holes without requiring a separate tapping operation. It is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. The 3/8-inch thread size and 1-1/2-inch length under head make it suited for moderate-depth fastening tasks. This fastener is typically installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, electricians, and general contractors during fabrication and field assembly work.

This screw is used across residential and commercial applications wherever sheet metal panels, ductwork, enclosures, or light structural assemblies require secure mechanical fastening. The hex head and hex drive allow installation with a standard hex socket or nut driver, providing consistent torque and positive engagement in production or field environments. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Type A hex head sheet metal screw compatible with pre-punched or pre-drilled light-gauge sheet metal assemblies, ductwork panels, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-material applications requiring a 3/8-inch thread size.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal fabricators, and electricians using a hex socket driver or nut driver sized to the hex head. Ensure the receiving material is properly pre-punched or pre-drilled to the correct pilot hole size for a Type A point before driving. Apply consistent, controlled torque to avoid stripping the threads in thin-gauge material. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer assembly guidelines for the specific enclosure or ductwork system being fastened.
