Value Collection C52000420 No. 12 Truss Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C52000420 is a No. 12 sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in thin metal applications. It features a truss head profile with a Phillips drive and is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, which provides corrosion resistance suitable for both interior and exterior environments. The length under head measures 0.75 inches. This screw is well-suited for HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, sheet metal panels, and similar trade applications where a low-profile, wide-bearing head is needed for reliable pull-through resistance.

This fastener is used in residential and light commercial installations where sheet metal components are assembled or secured. Common applications include HVAC duct assembly, access panel attachment, electrical box mounting, and general sheet metal fabrication. The truss head provides a wider bearing surface than a standard pan head, reducing the chance of pull-through in thinner gauge materials. Installers across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades regularly use this screw type in everyday service work.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 12 truss head sheet metal screw suitable for standard sheet metal fastening applications across HVAC, electrical, and related trades.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a Phillips-head screwdriver or matching power driver bit. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended when fastening heavier gauge materials to prevent material distortion. Follow applicable codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and torque to avoid stripping the drive or damaging thin sheet metal. Always verify the screw length is appropriate for the material stack being joined before driving.
