Value Collection 696809PR Sheet Metal Screw No. 12 Flat Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 696809PR is a No. 12 flat head slotted sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, ductwork, and sheet metal assemblies. The screw measures 1-1/4 inches in overall length and features a Type A point for self-starting entry into pre-drilled or punched holes in sheet metal. Constructed from Grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc finish, it delivers solid corrosion resistance in standard interior applications. The flat head sits flush with the work surface after installation, making it a practical choice where a low-profile fastener is required. This fastener is sized and specified to meet ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, AISI 1016, and SAE J933 standards.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal work in HVAC duct fabrication, electrical enclosures, metal framing, and general trade applications. The No. 12 thread size and 1-1/4-inch length make it a common choice for field and shop technicians assembling or securing metal components. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order, sold as a package quantity of 1.

Key Features

• No. 12 thread size with 1-1/4 inch overall length for medium-duty sheet metal fastening
• Flat head profile seats flush with the work surface for a clean, low-profile finish
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and power tools
• Type A point self-starts in pre-drilled or punched sheet metal holes
• Grade 1016/1024 steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, AISI 1016, and SAE J933 standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard sheet metal fastening applications including HVAC ductwork, electrical panels, metal enclosures, and light-gauge metal framing where a No. 12 flat head sheet metal screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted-bit power driver. Pre-drill or punch the substrate to the correct pilot hole diameter for the No. 12 thread before driving to avoid material distortion. Do not overdrive the flat head, as countersinking too deep into thin-gauge material can compromise holding strength. Follow applicable codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing in duct and enclosure assemblies.
