Value Collection C29873 Self Drilling Screw 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C29873 is a 1/4 inch self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening without the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole. Featuring a hex washer head and hex drive, this screw delivers consistent torque transfer and a broad bearing surface that resists pull-through. The steel construction with a zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light outdoor applications. The 1 inch length under head and number 3 drill point make it well suited for attaching light-gauge sheet metal and similar substrates in trade and fabrication work.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC ductwork assembly, metal framing, electrical enclosure installation, and general sheet metal fabrication. The hex washer head and hex drive combination is favored by mechanical and sheet metal contractors for speed with a nut driver or impact driver. It is sold in minimum order quantities of 500 units, making it appropriate for job-site or shop stock purchasing.

Key Features

• Number 3 drill point self-taps through light-gauge steel without a pilot hole
• Hex washer head provides a wide bearing surface and resists pull-through
• Hex drive compatible with standard nut drivers and impact drivers
• Zinc-plated steel finish offers corrosion resistance for general service environments
• 1 inch length under head suits standard light-gauge sheet metal applications
• Sold in multiples of 500 for efficient job-site and shop restocking

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose self drilling fastener for light-gauge sheet metal, metal framing, and ductwork applications typical in HVAC, mechanical, and electrical trades.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal mechanics, HVAC technicians, and general contractors using a standard hex nut driver or impact driver. Ensure the substrate gauge is appropriate for a number 3 drill point before driving. Do not overdrive — the hex washer head seats flush and overtightening can strip the material or damage the head. Follow applicable local building and mechanical codes when fastening structural or duct assemblies.
