Value Collection R50000196 Sheet Metal Screw No. 6 Pan Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000196 is a No. 6 pan head sheet metal screw designed for light-gauge metal fastening applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this screw measures 1-1/2 inches in length under the head. It features a Phillips drive and a Type AB point for clean thread engagement in thin sheet metal, light gauge steel, and related substrates. Installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general trade professionals, this fastener is suited for enclosure assembly, ductwork fastening, panel securing, and similar metal-to-metal or metal-to-thin-material joining tasks.

This screw is commonly used in trade applications requiring a reliable, corrosion-resistant fastener for light sheet metal work. Typical install scenarios include securing HVAC duct sections, electrical enclosure panels, junction box covers, plumbing access panels, and sheet metal brackets. The pan head profile provides a broad bearing surface suitable for applications where a low-profile but wide-head fastener is needed. The zinc finish holds up in dry indoor and moderately protected environments.

Key Features

• No. 6 thread size with Type AB point for reliable thread cutting in sheet metal
• 1-1/2 inch length under head for adequate engagement in light-gauge material
• Pan head design provides wide bearing surface and low profile
• Phillips drive for compatibility with standard power and hand drivers
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance in dry and protected environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose sheet metal fastener for use in residential and commercial trade applications involving light-gauge steel panels, ductwork, enclosures, and similar thin-metal assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips-tip screwdriver or power driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the head or over-driving into thin material. Ensure the substrate material is clean and free of burrs before driving. For HVAC duct applications, follow applicable SMACNA guidelines for fastener spacing and sealing. Always de-energize electrical enclosures before fastening panels or covers.
