Value Collection MPA98101 No. 6 Button Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPA98101 is a No. 6 button head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin-gauge metal in light fabrication, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar trade applications. Manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel, this screw provides solid corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor environments. The Pin In Torx drive requires a T10 bit, which helps resist cam-out during installation. Length is measured under the head at 0.75 inches, and the Type A point allows for self-starting in pre-drilled or punched sheet metal without the need for a separate tapping operation. Each package contains 10 screws.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a low-profile button head is needed to minimize protrusion above the work surface. Typical uses include securing sheet metal panels, junction box covers, HVAC access doors, and electrical enclosure assemblies. The 18-8 stainless grade makes it appropriate for environments with moderate moisture exposure. Trade professionals including HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians commonly use this fastener when a tamper-resistant drive style is specified or preferred on an install.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Button head profile keeps fastener low-profile above the work surface
• Pin In Torx drive (T10) resists cam-out and provides tamper resistance
• Type A point self-starts in pre-drilled or punched sheet metal
• 0.75-inch length measured under head suits standard light-gauge sheet metal work
• Inch measurement system; No. 6 thread size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use fastener for No. 6 sheet metal screw applications requiring a button head, Type A point, and Pin In Torx T10 drive in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a T10 Torx bit driver. Ensure the workpiece is secured and de-energized before fastening in or near electrical enclosures. Pre-drill or punch a pilot hole sized for No. 6 Type A screws to avoid deforming thin sheet metal. Do not overtighten, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling when driven at high torque without lubrication.
