Value Collection 697252PS Oval Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 697252PS is a No. 10 oval head Phillips sheet metal screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in light-gauge sheet metal and similar applications. Built from grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this screw measures 1.5 inches in overall length. It features a Type AB point for self-tapping entry into pre-punched or drilled holes, eliminating the need for a separate tapping operation. The Phillips drive accepts a No. 2 driver bit, making it compatible with standard hand and power tools used daily in HVAC, electrical, and sheet metal fabrication work. This screw is sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces per package.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where sheet metal panels, junction boxes, duct sections, and enclosures are fastened together. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers commonly use this fastener when assembling or securing metal components. The oval head profile sits slightly above the material surface, providing a finished appearance in visible installations while maintaining strong pull-through resistance. It is appropriate for use with sheet metal gauges commonly encountered in duct fabrication, equipment panels, and electrical enclosures.

Key Features

• Type AB self-tapping point for use in pre-punched or drilled sheet metal without a separate tapping step
• Grade 1016/1024 steel construction for dependable tensile strength in light-gauge fastening applications
• Zinc finish provides baseline corrosion resistance for indoor and protected outdoor installations
• Oval head profile delivers a low-profile finished appearance with good bearing surface against the workpiece
• No. 2 Phillips drive accepts standard driver bits used across HVAC, electrical, and fabrication trades
• Meets ANSI/ASME B18.6.4, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J933 standards for dimensional and mechanical consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for use in light-gauge sheet metal panels, duct assemblies, electrical enclosures, and equipment covers where an oval head Phillips fastener is required.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by qualified HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal fabricators. Ensure the substrate is pre-punched or drilled to the correct pilot hole diameter for a No. 10 Type AB screw before driving. Use a No. 2 Phillips bit at controlled torque to avoid stripping the drive or overdriving through thin-gauge material. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening panels or enclosures.
