Value Collection R50000191 Flat Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000191 is a No. 6 flat head Phillips sheet metal screw designed for light-gauge metal fastening applications. It measures 1.5 inches in overall length and features a Type AB point for easy thread engagement into pre-formed or self-pierced holes in sheet metal. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, this screw resists corrosion in standard indoor and mild-exposure environments. The flat head profile sits flush with the work surface after installation, making it well-suited for assemblies where a low-profile fastener is required. It is sold in multiples of 100.

This screw is used across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general sheet metal fabrication work. Common applications include securing duct flanges, junction box covers, equipment panels, and light sheet metal enclosures. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power drivers and hand screwdrivers, making installation straightforward in the field or on the bench. Its Type AB point thread form is appropriate for use in thin steel, aluminum sheet, and similar light-gauge materials where a self-tapping fastener is specified.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 flat head Phillips Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for use in light-gauge steel and aluminum sheet applications common in HVAC, electrical, and general trade work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips-head screwdriver or a power driver set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the zinc finish or over-driving into thin material. Always ensure the receiving material is appropriate for a Type AB self-tapping thread form before driving. Power down any equipment and de-energize any electrical enclosures before fastening covers or panels. Follow applicable NEC or mechanical code requirements for fastener type and spacing when securing electrical or HVAC enclosures.
