Value Collection R50000253 Self Drilling Screw 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000253 is a 1/4-inch self-drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in steel and light structural applications. Featuring a hex washer head and hex drive, this screw seats securely and resists cam-out under power tool torque. The No. 3 drill point eliminates the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole, allowing direct installation into sheet metal, steel framing, and similar substrates. The 1-inch length under head and zinc-plated steel construction make it a practical choice for trade professionals working in metal stud framing, HVAC ductwork attachment, and general sheet metal work.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where speed and corrosion resistance matter. The zinc-plated finish provides a baseline level of protection against oxidation in dry to mildly humid indoor environments. Typical install scenarios include securing steel studs, attaching sheet metal panels, and fastening HVAC components where pre-drilling is not practical. These screws are sold in minimum order quantities of 100 units, making them appropriate for contractors stocking job-site supplies.

Key Features

• No. 3 drill point for self-drilling into steel without a pilot hole
• Hex washer head provides a large bearing surface and resists pull-through
• Hex drive reduces cam-out under high-torque power tool use
• Zinc-plated steel construction for corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments
• 1-inch length under head suits standard sheet metal and light steel framing thickness
• 1/4-inch screw size compatible with standard hex driver bits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for sheet metal, light steel framing, and HVAC ductwork attachment applications requiring a 1/4-inch hex washer head self-drilling screw with a No. 3 drill point.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard 1/4-inch hex driver bit using a power drill or impact driver set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid stripping the head or overdriving the screw. No pilot hole is required due to the self-drilling point, but ensure the substrate material falls within the rated drilling capacity of a No. 3 point. Power down any associated electrical or mechanical systems before fastening components in live panels or equipment enclosures. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and load requirements.
