Value Collection MPA98102 No. 6 Button Head Sheet Metal Screw 10 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPA98102 is a No. 6 button head sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in thin-gauge sheet metal applications. It features a Pin In Torx drive (T10) with a Type A point for self-starting penetration without pre-drilling into light-gauge material. Manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel, this screw resists corrosion in humid or chemically active environments. The 1 inch length is measured under the head. Sold in a package of 10. This fastener is appropriate for HVAC sheet metal work, electrical enclosures, and general fabrication tasks requiring a tamper-resistant drive profile.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where corrosion resistance and tamper resistance are required. The button head profile sits low and distributes clamping force over a broader surface area than a pan or truss head, making it a practical choice for visible or space-constrained assemblies. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal fabricators commonly use this fastener when assembling ductwork panels, junction boxes, and equipment enclosures.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh environments
• Pin In Torx (T10) drive deters tampering and provides high torque transfer with minimal cam-out
• Type A point self-starts in light-gauge sheet metal without pre-drilling
• Button head profile offers a low-profile, finished appearance with broad bearing surface
• 1 inch length measured under head suits standard sheet metal panel thicknesses
• Sold in a 10-pack for small-quantity or service call use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 Type A sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel, aluminum, and similar thin-material fastening applications common in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a T10 Torx bit with a pin-in (security) recess — a standard T10 bit will not engage this drive. Ensure sheet metal panels are clamped or supported before driving to prevent distortion. In HVAC applications, follow applicable mechanical codes and manufacturer panel specifications. Always wear appropriate hand protection when handling cut sheet metal edges during assembly.
