Value Collection R50000318 No. 12 Flat Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000318 is a No. 12 flat head Phillips sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar thin materials in trade and industrial applications. Measuring 1 inch in overall length, this screw is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty applications. The flat head profile sits flush with the work surface when fully driven, making it suitable where a low-profile fastener is required. It carries both Type A and Type AB point designations, allowing use in pre-drilled or punched holes as well as direct-drive applications into thin sheet metal.

This screw is used across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general sheet metal work where a flush-mounted, Phillips-drive fastener is needed. Common applications include securing duct panels, junction box covers, equipment housings, and light-gauge metal assemblies. The zinc-plated Grade 2 steel construction suits indoor environments and protected enclosures. This SKU is sold as a single piece with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for stocking in service vehicles or shop bins for ongoing trade use.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a No. 2 Phillips bit or hand screwdriver. Ensure the base material is properly supported and that hole size matches the thread size to avoid stripping. Do not overdrive flat head screws into thin gauge material, as this can deform the metal around the fastener seat. Follow applicable codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing in duct and enclosure assemblies.
