Value Collection 74215971 Sheet Metal Screw 6 Pan Head Phillips

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 74215971 is a number 6 pan head Phillips drive sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar thin materials. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw measures 3/8 inches in length under the head. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface, and the Phillips drive allows for quick installation with standard power tools. Zinc plating offers basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and light-duty applications. These screws are packaged in quantities of 50 and sold in multiples of 5 packages.

These sheet metal screws are suited for HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, light structural paneling, and general trade work requiring a secure, removable fastener in thin-gauge metal. The number 6 size and 3/8-inch length make them a common choice for attaching sheet metal flanges, access panels, and junction box covers in residential and light commercial installations.

Key Features

• Number 6 thread size for light-gauge sheet metal fastening
• 3/8-inch length under head for shallow material thickness
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wide bearing surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard screwdrivers and power drivers
• Zinc-plated Grade 2 steel construction for general-purpose durability
• Packaged 50 per pack, sold in multiples of 5 packs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-measurement sheet metal screw for general-purpose fastening in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, access panels, and light-gauge steel assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a Phillips screwdriver or a power driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the drive. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in harder or thicker gauge materials can improve thread engagement and reduce fastener damage. Always confirm the base material gauge and screw length are compatible before driving. Follow applicable code requirements such as NEC or SMACNA guidelines where fastener specifications are prescribed.
