Value Collection BDKP78958 Hex Slotted Sheet Metal Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDKP78958 is a No. 14 hex head slotted sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar thin materials in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical trade applications. The screw measures 0.75 inches in length under the head and features a Type AB point for quick thread engagement without a pre-drilled pilot hole in most sheet metal gauges. The hex head accepts a standard nut driver or hex socket for fast, torque-controlled installation. Sold in a pack of 50, this fastener suits high-volume field and shop work.

This screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure attachment, sheet metal panel fastening, and similar mechanical work where a driven hex head fastener is preferred. The slotted drive provides a secondary drive option when a flat-blade screwdriver is the only tool on hand. Type AB thread form provides coarse pitch suitable for sheet metal and thin non-structural steel components.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose sheet metal fastener for residential and light commercial ductwork, enclosures, and panel assemblies where a No. 14 hex head slotted screw with Type AB point is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a nut driver, hex socket driver, or flat-blade screwdriver appropriate to the fastener drive. Ensure material gauge is compatible with a Type AB point before driving to avoid deformation of the base material. Do not overdrive — seat the hex head flush or snug against the material without distorting the sheet metal. Follow applicable mechanical and HVAC sheet metal assembly codes for fastener spacing and edge distance.
