Value Collection 74215930 Sheet Metal Screw 12 Pan Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 74215930 is a number 12 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal and light-gauge materials in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. It features a Phillips drive, a pan head profile, and a zinc finish over Grade 2 steel construction. The screw measures 1-1/2 inches under the head and is sold in packages of 25. This fastener is a standard workhorse on sheet metal duct assemblies, electrical enclosures, and equipment panels. It is installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers as part of routine fabrication and service work.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal work common in residential and commercial HVAC duct systems, electrical boxes, equipment housings, and similar metal panel assemblies. The pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wider surface area, making it appropriate for thinner gauge stock. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor installations. Each package contains 25 screws, making it a practical unit for stocking service vehicles and shop supplies.

Key Features

• Number 12 thread size for use in light-gauge sheet metal
• 1-1/2 inch length measured under the head for precise fitment
• Pan head profile spreads clamping load on thin sheet stock
• Phillips drive compatible with standard screwdrivers and power drivers
• Zinc finish provides corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered applications
• Grade 2 steel construction for standard fastening duty

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement and stocking fastener for number 12 pan head Phillips sheet metal screw applications in residential and commercial HVAC duct work, electrical enclosures, and light-gauge metal panel assemblies.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal fabricators using a Phillips screwdriver or a power driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the drive recess. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in heavier gauge stock helps prevent material distortion. Always de-energize electrical equipment before fastening into or near live panels, per NEC guidelines.
