Value Collection A98176 No. 10 Flat Head Torx Sheet Metal Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A98176 is a No. 10 flat head Torx drive sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, and assemblies in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication work. Manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel, it provides solid corrosion resistance in environments where mild moisture exposure is a concern. The screw measures 1.25 inches in overall length and uses a T25 Torx drive, which reduces cam-out risk compared to Phillips or slotted drives. The Type A point type allows direct penetration into sheet metal without a pre-drilled pilot hole in thinner gauges. Each package contains 50 screws.

This screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial installations involving sheet metal ductwork, electrical enclosures, access panels, and equipment cabinets. HVAC technicians commonly use flat head Torx sheet metal screws where a flush or near-flush fastener profile is required so that panels seat properly without interference. The Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction suits outdoor-rated equipment enclosures and rooftop unit panels where carbon steel fasteners would corrode over time.

Key Features

• T25 Torx drive reduces cam-out and extends bit life during high-volume installs
• Type A point for direct drive into sheet metal without pilot hole in thinner gauges
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in damp or outdoor environments
• Flat head profile sits flush to the work surface, preventing panel interference
• 1.25-inch overall length suits standard sheet metal panel thicknesses
• Pack of 50 for job-site and truck-stock use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 flat head Type A sheet metal screw suitable for use in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, equipment panels, and general sheet metal assemblies requiring a flush fastener with Torx drive.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a T25 Torx bit and an appropriate power driver or hand driver. De-energize any electrical equipment and verify that refrigerant or gas systems are safely isolated before removing or replacing fasteners on equipment panels. Avoid overtorquing stainless steel screws, as galling can occur; use controlled torque settings on power drivers. Follow applicable codes including NEC and local mechanical codes for fastener requirements on electrical enclosures and ductwork.
