Value Collection C28372 No. 14 Hex Slotted Sheet Metal Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C28372 is a No. 14 hex head slotted sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal materials in light fabrication, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal assembly. The screw features a Type B point for self-starting penetration into pre-punched or pre-drilled sheet metal without requiring a tapped hole. A zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for dry indoor environments. The slotted hex head accepts both a flat-blade screwdriver and a hex socket or nut driver, making it versatile for tight spaces. Each package contains 50 screws.

This screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications where sheet metal panels, junction boxes, HVAC duct sections, or equipment covers need to be secured. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers reach for No. 14 hex head screws when attaching duct sections, securing access panels, or fastening thin-gauge steel enclosures. The 5/8-inch length under the head suits typical thin-gauge sheet metal applications where pull-through resistance and flush seating matter.

Key Features

• No. 14 thread size for high pull-out strength in sheet metal applications
• Type B point self-starts in pre-punched or drilled holes without thread tapping
• Hex head accepts nut driver or flat-blade screwdriver for dual-tool compatibility
• Zinc finish provides corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments
• 5/8-inch length under head sized for standard thin-gauge sheet metal fastening
• 50-piece pack suitable for job-site or service-truck stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 14 Type B sheet metal screw for use in thin-gauge steel panels, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and equipment covers where a hex head slotted fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a nut driver, hex socket, or flat-blade screwdriver. Always de-energize electrical equipment before fastening covers or enclosures per applicable NEC requirements. Pre-punch or pre-drill the substrate to the recommended pilot hole size for the No. 14 thread to avoid distorting thin sheet metal. Do not over-drive the fastener, as the hex head can strip or deform the sheet metal at the seating point.
