Value Collection 697579PR Pan Head Torx Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 697579PR is a No. 4 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal, light-gauge steel components, and similar materials in trade and industrial applications. It features a Torx T10 drive for positive bit engagement and reduced cam-out risk during installation. The screw measures 3/8 inches in length under the head, uses a Type AB point for self-starting in pre-punched or drilled holes, and is manufactured from AISI 1016/1024 grade steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance in standard indoor environments. These screws are sold in multiples of 100.

This screw is a general-purpose fastener suited for HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, light structural sheet metal work, and equipment panel attachment. The pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface without requiring a countersunk hole, making it a common choice when flush or low-profile head clearance is needed across thin-gauge sheet metal assemblies. The Torx T10 drive is compatible with standard power drivers used in sheet metal and mechanical trades.

Key Features

• No. 4 thread size with Type AB self-starting point for use in pre-punched or drilled sheet metal
• Torx T10 drive reduces cam-out during high-torque power driving
• Pan head style provides wide bearing surface without countersinking
• 3/8 inch length under head suits thin-gauge sheet metal applications
• Zinc finish provides corrosion resistance for standard indoor service environments
• Meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose sheet metal fastener for use in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light-gauge sheet metal assemblies where a No. 4 pan head Torx screw with Type AB point is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a T10 Torx bit and a power driver or hand screwdriver. Ensure material thickness is appropriate for the 3/8 inch under-head length to achieve full thread engagement without bottoming out. De-energize any electrical enclosures before fastening panels. Follow applicable codes including SMACNA guidelines for duct assembly and NEC requirements for electrical enclosure work.
