Value Collection C50000324 Sheet Metal Screw No. 10 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C50000324 is a No. 10 oval head sheet metal screw designed for fast, secure fastening in light-gauge sheet metal, plastic enclosures, and similar thin-material applications. Featuring a Phillips drive and Type AB point, this screw is self-tapping and does not require a pre-tapped hole in most sheet metal work. The overall length is 1-1/4 inches, and the screw is manufactured from Grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance. This package contains 50 screws. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers commonly use this fastener during duct fabrication, panel assembly, and equipment enclosure work.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a low-profile oval head is needed to sit flush against a countersunk or slightly recessed surface. The Type AB point cuts its own thread path in thin steel, aluminum sheet, and rigid plastics, making it a common choice for securing access panels, junction box covers, duct collars, and similar assemblies. A No. 2 Phillips driver bit is the correct drive size for installation.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 oval head sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal, rigid plastic enclosures, and similar thin-material fastening applications common in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a No. 2 Phillips bit using a hand screwdriver or power driver set to a controlled torque clutch to avoid stripping the drive. Ensure the base material thickness is appropriate for the screw length selected so the point does not bottom out before the head seats. For electrical enclosure applications, follow NEC guidelines for acceptable fastener types and panel integrity. Avoid over-driving, which can distort the sheet metal or damage the zinc finish.
