Value Collection 697447PR No. 4 Sheet Metal Screw 100-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 697447PR is a No. 4 hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for fast, secure fastening in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver and the Type AB point self-taps into pre-pierced or drilled holes without a separate tapping operation. At 0.5 inches in length under the head, this screw is suited for thin-material applications where a compact fastener is needed. The base steel is grade 1016/1024 and the zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected environments. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per pack.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC ductwork fabrication, electrical enclosure assembly, appliance manufacturing, and general sheet metal work. The hex washer head distributes clamping load across the material surface and resists cam-out during installation. The Type AB thread form is compatible with sheet metal gauges typically found in residential and light commercial equipment panels, junction boxes, duct collars, and similar thin-stock applications. Licensed sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, and electricians reach for this fastener size during routine service and new installation alike.

• Hex washer head provides broad bearing surface and resists cam-out
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers

• Meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies requiring a No. 4 hex washer head Type AB sheet metal screw in 0.5 inch length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, and electricians using a flat-blade screwdriver or a hex-socket bit sized for the hex washer head. Always de-energize and lock out electrical equipment before fastening panels or enclosures. Ensure the mating hole is correctly sized per the manufacturer specification for Type AB screws to prevent stripping. Do not over-torque; hand-tight plus a fraction of a turn is typically sufficient for light-gauge sheet metal.
