Value Collection 74215898 Sheet Metal Screw 12 Pan Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 74215898 is a 12 pan head sheet metal screw with a Phillips drive, designed for fastening thin-gauge sheet metal, ductwork, and light fabrication assemblies. The 1/2-inch length is measured under the head, placing the threaded shank engagement in the range suited for light-gauge material stacking. The pan head profile keeps a low, broad bearing surface that resists pull-through without requiring a washer in most applications. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for interior and sheltered environments. This fastener is installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, plumbers, and general trades working with sheet metal enclosures, access panels, and duct connections.

This screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a 12 thread size and 1/2-inch under-head length are specified. Common uses include securing HVAC duct sections, attaching access panels, fastening junction box covers, and assembling light-gauge steel enclosures. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power drivers and manual screwdrivers. Each package contains 50 screws, making it practical for small-batch repair jobs and production runs alike. The Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for sheet metal fastening in typical trade applications.

Key Features

• Size 12 thread for reliable bite in light-gauge sheet metal
• 1/2-inch length under head suits thin sheet-to-sheet and sheet-to-frame connections
• Pan head profile delivers broad bearing surface without a washer
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power drivers and hand tools
• Zinc finish offers basic corrosion resistance for interior and sheltered use
• Grade 2 steel construction balances hardness and shear resistance for sheet metal work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 12 pan head Phillips sheet metal screw suitable for general-purpose fastening in light-gauge steel assemblies, HVAC ductwork, access panels, and electrical enclosures.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, electricians, and plumbers using a Phillips-tip driver or variable-speed drill with a Phillips bit. Always confirm material gauge compatibility before driving to avoid stripping the receiving material. For duct assemblies, follow SMACNA guidelines for screw spacing and penetration depth. Wear appropriate eye protection when working with power drivers in overhead or confined spaces.
