Value Collection C50000330 No. 10 Pan Head Sheet Metal Screw 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C50000330 is a No. 10 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal assemblies in HVAC, electrical, and light fabrication applications. The dual-drive head accepts both a slotted and Phillips driver, giving installers flexibility in the field. The Type AB point provides a self-starting thread that cuts cleanly into sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar materials without requiring a pre-drilled hole in most applications. Finished with zinc plating for basic corrosion resistance, this screw is manufactured from Grade 2 steel and measures 0.5 inches in length under the head. Sold in a 50-piece pack.

This fastener is a standard trade-supply item used throughout residential and commercial construction and service work. HVAC technicians use No. 10 pan head sheet metal screws to secure duct flanges, equipment access panels, electrical knockouts, and sheet metal enclosures. The pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface compared to a flat head, making it well suited for thin-gauge material that could deform under a countersunk fastener. The compact 0.5-inch length is appropriate for joining two layers of light sheet metal where a longer fastener would protrude or interfere with internal components.

Key Features

• Type AB self-starting point cuts into light-gauge sheet metal without a pilot hole in most applications
• Dual slotted and Phillips drive accepts either driver type for field flexibility
• Pan head profile spreads clamping load and reduces deformation on thin sheet metal
• Zinc-plated finish provides baseline corrosion resistance for indoor and protected outdoor installations
• Grade 2 steel construction meets general-purpose fastener strength requirements
• 50-piece pack suits single-job use or restocking a service vehicle

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 10 sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge metal fastening applications common in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and sheet metal fabrication.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a hand screwdriver or low-torque power driver set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid stripping the drive recess or over-driving into thin material. Always de-energize electrical equipment and isolate HVAC systems before removing or installing access panel fasteners. Avoid applying excessive torque on thin-gauge material, as the pan head can pull through if over-driven. When used in ductwork, verify that fastener length does not protrude into the airstream in a way that would restrict flow or damage internal liners.
