Value Collection 74215880 Sheet Metal Screw No. 10 Pan Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 74215880 is a No. 10 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal, light steel, and similar materials in mechanical and trade applications. Driven by a Phillips bit, the pan head profile offers a low-profile bearing surface that resists pull-through in thin-gauge material. The screw measures 1.5 inches under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in standard indoor environments. Each package contains 25 screws. These fasteners are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general tradespeople working with sheet metal enclosures, ductwork access panels, electrical boxes, and equipment housings.

This screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, reusable thread-forming fastener is needed in sheet metal from 20 gauge through heavier stock. Typical scenarios include securing duct sections, attaching cover plates, fastening equipment brackets, and assembling metal enclosures. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard #2 Phillips bits and power drivers widely available on job sites. The zinc finish suits dry to mildly humid interior installations.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size for strong engagement in sheet metal and light steel

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose sheet metal fastener suitable for use in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, equipment panels, and similar sheet metal assemblies where a No. 10 pan head Phillips screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a #2 Phillips screwdriver or power driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the drive recess or overdriving the head. De-energize electrical equipment and shut down HVAC systems before fastening cover panels or access doors. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in heavier-gauge stock to ensure proper thread engagement without distorting the base material.
