Value Collection C23242 Sheet Metal Screw 14 Pan Head 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C23242 is a No. 14 pan head Phillips drive sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal, light-gauge steel assemblies, and similar thin-material applications. Built from Grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw features a Type AB point for easy thread engagement without a pre-tapped hole. The 0.5-inch length is measured under the head. The No. 3 Phillips drive size is matched to the No. 14 thread diameter. These screws are sold in a pack of 25 and are a standard hardware item for HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and sheet metal fabricators working on duct systems, panels, and enclosures.

No. 14 pan head sheet metal screws see regular use in residential and light commercial HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, and general sheet metal fastening tasks. The pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface and low-profile sit, making it suitable for applications where a flat clamping surface is needed without a countersunk hole. The Type AB point is compatible with pre-drilled or self-starting holes in thin-gauge sheet metal and is a common fastener choice across multiple trade disciplines.

Key Features

• No. 14 thread size with Type AB point for self-starting in thin sheet metal
• 0.5-inch length under head suits shallow-material fastening applications
• Pan head profile provides wide bearing surface for secure clamping
• No. 3 Phillips drive matches standard No. 14 screw drive sizing
• Zinc-plated Grade 1016-1024 steel construction meets AISI, ASME, and SAE standards
• Pack of 25 suits job-site use and small-quantity restocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 14 pan head Type AB sheet metal screw for use in thin-gauge sheet metal assemblies across HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications conforming to ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 specifications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a No. 3 Phillips bit and a variable-speed drill or screwdriver. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the thread engagement in thin-gauge material or deform the pan head. For electrical enclosures and panel work, verify that fastener material and finish meet applicable NEC requirements for the installation environment.
