Value Collection R50000245 Self Drilling Screw No 10

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000245 is a No. 10 self drilling screw designed for fastening into metal substrates without a pre-drilled pilot hole. Featuring a hex washer head and hex drive, it delivers high torque transfer and a built-in bearing surface that resists pull-through. The No. 3 drill point cuts through light-gauge steel efficiently. At 1 inch length under head, it is suited for thin-metal lap joints and sheet metal assembly common in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light structural panel work. The zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance for standard indoor and light-duty applications. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package.

This screw is used in residential and light commercial applications where self-tapping fasteners are required to join sheet metal panels, HVAC duct sections, electrical boxes, or similar thin-gauge steel components. The hex washer head seats flush against the work surface and distributes clamping load across a wider area, reducing distortion in thin materials. The hex drive accepts standard 5/16-inch hex driver bits used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers on the job site.

Key Features

• No. 3 drill point self-starts in light-gauge steel without pilot drilling
• Hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface to resist pull-through
• Hex drive for positive bit engagement and high torque transfer
• 1 inch length under head suitable for thin-metal lap joints
• Zinc-plated steel finish for corrosion resistance in standard service environments
• Sold in multiples of 100 for job-site and shop stock use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 self drilling screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal fastening applications typical of HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, and general sheet metal work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC sheet metal workers, electricians, and general construction tradespeople using a hex driver bit in a power drill or impact driver. No pilot hole is required when drilling into light-gauge steel within the No. 3 drill point rating. Apply consistent axial pressure during driving to allow the drill point to engage before the threads advance. Do not overdrive — strip-out or material distortion can result if torque is not controlled.
