Value Collection MSC-74125469 Self Drilling Screw 14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-74125469 is a No. 14 self drilling screw with a hex washer head and hex drive, designed for fast, reliable fastening without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The drill point size is No. 3, suited for penetrating light-gauge metal and similar substrates. Manufactured from Grade 410 stainless steel, this screw offers solid corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor applications. Length under the head measures 0.75 inches. Thread size is 1/4-14. These screws are commonly installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general contractors working with metal framing, ductwork, and light structural assemblies.

This self drilling screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a secure metal-to-metal or metal-to-substrate fastening is required. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface that resists pull-through, and the hex drive accepts standard 1/4-inch hex bits for use with power drivers. The No. 3 drill point is rated for thicker material gauges compared to finer drill point designations, making it a common choice in HVAC duct fabrication and metal panel installation. Minimum order quantity is 100 screws per order.

Key Features

• No. 14 screw size with 1/4-14 thread for strong thread engagement in metal
• No. 3 drill point penetrates light-gauge to medium-gauge metal without pre-drilling
• Grade 410 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Hex washer head distributes clamping load and reduces pull-through
• Hex drive compatible with standard 1/4-inch power driver bits
• 0.75 inch length under head suits thin-material lap joints and panel attachments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 14 self drilling fastener suitable for light-gauge metal framing, sheet metal ductwork, and metal panel assemblies where a 1/4-14 thread form and No. 3 drill point are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, or electricians using a power driver fitted with a 1/4-inch hex bit and a hex driver tip with a depth-stop collar to avoid overdriving. Confirm material gauge compatibility with the No. 3 drill point before driving. Follow applicable SMACNA standards for duct fastener spacing. Do not overtighten, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling when driven at excessive speed or torque.
