Value Collection C52000437 Sheet Metal Screw Size 6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C52000437 is a No. 6 hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for fast, secure fastening in light-gauge sheet metal and similar thin-material assemblies. Featuring a slotted drive and a Type AB point, this screw self-taps into pre-punched or pre-drilled holes without a separate nut. The length under the head measures 0.5 inches, making it well suited for shallow-stack joints. Finished in zinc for basic corrosion resistance, the screw is manufactured from Grade 2 steel. HVAC techs and sheet metal workers reach for this fastener when assembling ductwork, equipment panels, and electrical enclosures where a secure mechanical grip is needed in thin material.

This screw sees routine use in residential and light commercial HVAC ductwork fabrication and service, electrical panel and enclosure assembly, and general sheet metal fabrication. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface that resists pull-through in thin-gauge substrates, and the slotted drive accepts both flat-blade screwdrivers and hex-head nut drivers common on job sites. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, this fastener is a standard bench stock item for HVAC shops and electrical contractors.

Key Features

• Type AB self-tapping point penetrates light-gauge sheet metal without pre-tapping
• Hex washer head allows nut-driver or screwdriver installation for speed on production runs
• Slotted drive offers compatibility with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and nut drivers
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion protection for indoor and enclosed applications
• Grade 2 steel construction balances hardness and ductility for sheet metal work
• 0.5 inch length under head suits shallow-panel and thin-stack fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 Type AB sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge steel panels, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-material assemblies where self-tapping thread form is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, or electricians using a flat-blade screwdriver or a hex nut driver. Ensure the substrate is properly supported and that the receiving hole diameter matches the recommended pilot size for No. 6 Type AB screws to prevent stripping. Do not overtighten in thin-gauge material, as the slotted drive and thin substrate can strip under excessive torque. Follow applicable NEC or SMACNA guidelines when fastening electrical enclosures or ductwork assemblies.
