Value Collection KP87351 Sheet Metal Screw No. 14 50-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP87351 is a No. 14 sheet metal screw with a hex washer head and slotted drive, sold in a pack of 50. The shank measures 1.5 inches under the head and is manufactured from grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Grade 316 stainless provides strong resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure, making this fastener suitable for demanding environments. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and sheet metal workers install these screws when securing duct sections, enclosures, equipment panels, and light-gauge metal assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority.

These screws are used in residential and light commercial applications wherever a self-tapping fastener is required in thin-gauge sheet metal. The hex washer head allows drive with a standard nut driver or socket, and the slotted drive provides a backup option with a flat-blade screwdriver. The 50-piece pack suits service vehicles and job-site use where a moderate quantity of uniform fasteners is needed without overstocking.

Key Features

• No. 14 thread size for reliable bite in light-gauge sheet metal
• 1.5 inches length under head provides adequate thread engagement across common panel thicknesses
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion and chemical resistance
• Hex washer head accepts standard nut driver or socket for fast installation
• Slotted drive offers flat-blade screwdriver backup in tight spaces
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and avoids coating delamination

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 14 hex washer head sheet metal screw suitable for use in light-gauge metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, enclosures, and equipment panels where a slotted drive and grade 316 stainless material are specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians and sheet metal workers using a nut driver, socket driver, or flat-blade screwdriver. Confirm the substrate gauge and pilot hole size are appropriate for a No. 14 thread before driving to avoid stripping. Power down or de-energize any equipment panel before fastening to avoid contact with live components. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can strip the thread engagement in thin-gauge material.
