Value Collection C50000295 1/4 Inch Hex Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C50000295 is a 1/4-inch hex head sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge sheet metal and similar thin materials. It features a Type AB point for easy thread engagement without pre-drilling in most applications. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, this screw provides reliable corrosion resistance suitable for general-purpose indoor and light outdoor use. The hex head accepts a standard hex driver or wrench for consistent torque application. Length under head measures 3/4 inches. HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers commonly use this screw type for duct fabrication, panel attachment, and equipment enclosure work.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where thin sheet metal fastening is required. Common uses include HVAC duct assembly, electrical enclosure panels, junction box covers, and general sheet metal fabrication. The Type AB thread form and point design allow for clean, fast installation in pre-punched or self-pierced holes. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.
