Value Collection 696810PR No.12 Flat Slotted Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 696810PR is a No. 12 flat head slotted sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light-gauge sheet metal assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this screw features a Type A point for self-starting entry into pre-punched or drilled pilot holes. The flat head sits flush with the workpiece surface for a clean, low-profile finish. Overall length is 1.5 inches. This fastener meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where sheet metal panels, junction boxes, HVAC ductwork flanges, and similar thin-gauge metal components require a flush-seated fastener. The slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade screwdrivers and is a common choice in field service where mixed tool sets are in use. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers regularly specify this fastener type for duct assembly, electrical enclosure work, and equipment panel installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a flat-blade screwdriver or matching bit. Always use the correct pilot hole size for No. 12 Type A sheet metal screws to prevent stripping or material deformation. De-energize all electrical enclosures before fastening panels. Do not overtighten, as thin-gauge sheet metal can deform around the screw head.
