Value Collection C52000389 Pan Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C52000389 is a No. 10 pan head Phillips drive sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin-gauge metal components in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication applications. The screw measures 1-3/4 inches in length under head and is manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor service environments. The pan head profile offers a low-profile bearing surface suitable for flush or near-flush installations where clearance is limited. This fastener follows inch-standard sizing and is sold in quantities of 100 per order.

This screw is used wherever No. 10 sheet metal fasteners are required in trade work, including securing ductwork panels, electrical enclosures, access doors, junction boxes, and light-gauge metal assemblies. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power drivers and manual screwdrivers, making it practical for field installs and shop fabrication alike. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for humid or corrosive environments such as rooftop equipment, outdoor electrical enclosures, and coastal installations.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion in outdoor and humid environments
• Pan head profile provides a broad bearing surface with low overall height
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power drivers and manual screwdrivers
• No. 10 thread size suits a wide range of light-gauge and medium-gauge sheet metal applications
• 1-3/4 inch length under head accommodates typical panel and enclosure wall thicknesses
• Inch-standard sizing consistent with common trade hardware specifications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 pan head Phillips sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge to medium-gauge metal assemblies including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a No. 2 Phillips bit in a hand driver or variable-speed power drill. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended when fastening into heavier gauge material to prevent material distortion and ensure proper thread engagement. Follow applicable codes such as the NEC or SMACNA guidelines when fastening electrical enclosures or ductwork. Avoid over-torquing, which can strip threads in thin-gauge sheet metal.
