Value Collection R50000195 Sheet Metal Screw No. 12 Flat Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000195 is a No. 12 flat head Phillips sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal components in light-gauge applications. At 2 inches in overall length, this Type AB point screw threads directly into sheet metal, light steel framing, and similar materials without requiring a pre-tapped hole. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it provides corrosion resistance suitable for interior and sheltered installations. The flat head profile sits flush with the material surface when driven fully, making it appropriate where a low-profile fastener is required.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC duct fabrication and assembly, electrical enclosure work, light steel framing, and general sheet metal joining tasks. Tradespeople working on ductwork connections, junction box covers, access panels, and equipment housings will find this fastener appropriate for standard sheet metal gauges. The Phillips drive is compatible with common power drivers and manual screwdrivers used in the field. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

• No. 12 thread size for secure grip in standard sheet metal gauges
• Type AB point threads directly into material without pre-tapping
• Flat head profile sits flush with the workpiece surface
• Zinc-plated Grade 2 steel finish resists corrosion in sheltered environments
• Phillips drive works with standard power drivers and hand tools
• 2-inch overall length suits a range of panel and duct thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 12 Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel applications including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal assembly.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general tradespeople using a Phillips-head power driver or manual screwdriver. Ensure the material being fastened is properly aligned and supported before driving the screw to prevent sheet distortion. The Type AB point is self-starting in most light-gauge metals, but pilot holes may improve alignment in harder or thicker stock. Always wear appropriate eye protection when working with power drivers in metal fabrication tasks.
