Manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel, this screw delivers corrosion resistance suited to both indoor and outdoor environments. The Type A point style allows for self-starting penetration into light-gauge sheet metal without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The T10 Torx drive size provides excellent torque transfer while the tamper-resistant pin-in-torx configuration resists unauthorized removal. Overall length is 1 inch. This package contains 50 screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is used in light-gauge sheet metal assembly across HVAC, electrical enclosure, and general trade applications. The flat head countersinks flush with the workpiece surface, making it well suited for installations where a low-profile fastener is required. Licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers regularly use Type A sheet metal screws in equipment panels, ductwork flanges, junction boxes, and access door hardware. The Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction makes these appropriate for environments where mild corrosion exposure is a factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePin In Torx drive (T10) resists unauthorized removal and delivers positive torque engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat head design countersinks flush for a low-profile finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType A point style self-starts in light-gauge sheet metal without pre-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 inch overall length suits common panel and enclosure fastening tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a 50-count package for job-site and service truck stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard Type A sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal panels, enclosures, ductwork flanges, and similar applications where a size 18 flat head fastener with a T10 Pin In Torx drive is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed with a T10 Torx bit driver; use of a pin-in-torx bit is required to engage the tamper-resistant drive recess. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure or HVAC equipment before fastening panels or access doors. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the sheet metal or shear the screw shank in thin-gauge material. Follow applicable codes such as NEC or SMACNA guidelines when fastening electrical enclosures or ductwork components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pin In Torx\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTorx Drive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: T10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 18-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: A98171\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51712506134834,"sku":"A98171","price":21.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a454198201cf2bc26575e4b8c757b2e0.jpg?v=1788486319","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-a98171-sheet-metal-screw-size-18-50-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
