Value Collection C52000372 Sheet Metal Screw 1/4 Pan Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C52000372 is a 1/4 inch pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal and light-gauge materials in trade and industrial applications. Manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel, this screw offers corrosion resistance suitable for environments where moisture or chemical exposure is a concern. The Phillips drive pan head provides a low-profile bearing surface and is compatible with standard power drivers and manual screwdrivers. With a 1-1/2 inch length under the head and a Type A point, it is engineered to self-tap into pre-drilled or punched holes in sheet metal without requiring a nut.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical panel fabrication, light structural sheet metal work, and general mechanical enclosures. The Type A point style is suited for thinner gauge metal stock. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal workers use this fastener in both field and shop settings. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per package, making it practical for bulk fastening tasks on larger jobs or service vehicle restocking.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments
• 1/4 inch thread size with 1-1/2 inch length under head for secure engagement in light-gauge sheet metal
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface and low-profile finish
• Phillips drive compatible with standard bits and power drivers
• Type A point for self-tapping into pre-pierced or pre-drilled sheet metal
• Sold in multiples of 50 for efficient bulk use on service calls or shop fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4 inch Type A pan head sheet metal screw suitable for general sheet metal fastening applications across HVAC, electrical, and light fabrication work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC sheet metal workers, electricians, or plumbers during ductwork assembly or enclosure fabrication. Always pre-drill or punch the appropriate pilot hole diameter for the gauge of metal being fastened before driving the screw. Use a properly sized Phillips bit to avoid cam-out and fastener head damage. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA standards for duct construction or NEC requirements for electrical enclosures when selecting fastener type and spacing.
