Value Collection 74215955 Sheet Metal Screw Pan Head Pack 25

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 74215955 is a No. 14 pan head sheet metal screw with a Phillips drive, sold in a pack of 25. It is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance for general interior and light-duty applications. The screw measures 1 inch in length under the head. Sheet metal screws of this type are self-tapping and are used to fasten thin-gauge metal panels, brackets, ducts, and enclosures. HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors routinely use this fastener when securing sheet metal components during fabrication or field installation.

This screw is well suited for residential and light commercial applications including HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure mounting, metal framing, and general sheet metal fabrication. The pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface than a flat head, making it appropriate for applications where a low-profile raised head is acceptable. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power drivers and hand screwdrivers commonly used on job sites.

Key Features

• No. 14 thread size for secure engagement in thin-gauge sheet metal
• Pan head profile provides broad bearing surface and flush-adjacent fit
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power drivers and manual screwdrivers
• Grade 2 steel construction for general-duty fastening applications
• Zinc finish offers basic corrosion protection for interior environments
• Pack of 25 screws per package for job-site and shop use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 14 pan head sheet metal screw suitable for thin-gauge steel panels, ductwork flanges, electrical enclosures, and similar light-gauge metal assemblies.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are self-tapping and do not require a pre-tapped hole; a pilot hole sized appropriately for the thread diameter is recommended to prevent metal distortion and ensure proper thread engagement. Always de-energize electrical systems and shut off HVAC equipment before fastening near live components or ductwork in service. Use a Phillips-bit driver set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the drive recess or over-driving through thin sheet stock. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA standards for ductwork fastener spacing where required.
