Value Collection C50000345 No. 12 Sheet Metal Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C50000345 is a No. 12 pan head sheet metal screw designed for reliable fastening in light-gauge metal applications. The screw measures 1 inch in length under the head and features a dual-drive Slotted Phillips configuration, allowing installation with either a standard flat blade or Phillips driver. Made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, it provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light-duty fastening tasks. The Type AB point is a self-tapping design that cuts its own thread path on entry, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole in most thin-metal work. Each package contains 50 screws.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where sheet metal panels, ductwork components, electrical enclosures, or metal brackets need to be secured. The No. 12 thread size and 1-inch length make it a common choice for HVAC sheet metal assembly, junction box covers, and similar thin-metal joinery tasks performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general maintenance trades.

Key Features

• Type AB self-tapping point threads directly into light-gauge sheet metal without pre-tapping
• Dual-drive Slotted Phillips head accepts both flat blade and Phillips drivers for jobsite flexibility
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface and low-profile seating against sheet metal
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance in dry environments
• No. 12 thread size with 1-inch length under head suits common light-gauge metal thicknesses
• Sold in a 50-count package for standard small-quantity jobsite use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel panels, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-metal fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a Phillips or flat blade screwdriver or power driver set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid stripping the pan head. Ensure the base material is properly supported and clamped before driving to prevent panel distortion. For electrical enclosure work, follow NEC guidelines for fastener requirements. Avoid over-torquing, which can strip the self-tapped thread in thin-gauge material.
