Value Collection R52000834 Round Head Sheet Metal Screw No. 6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000834 is a No. 6 round head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, ductwork, and sheet stock. It features a Type U point for self-starting entry without a pilot hole in many applications. The screw measures 0.25 inches in length under head and is manufactured from Grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance. This fastener meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and ASME B18.6.4 standards. HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians commonly use this style of screw during panel assembly, duct fabrication, and enclosure work.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal applications in both residential and commercial settings. Typical uses include securing HVAC ductwork sections, attaching sheet metal panels to frames, and fastening electrical enclosure covers. The round head profile sits above the work surface and provides a broad bearing area, making it well suited where countersinking is not required. Supplied in bulk quantities, this fastener fits standard production and service workflows.

Key Features

• No. 6 thread size for light-gauge sheet metal fastening
• Type U point for self-starting penetration in thin metal
• Round head profile provides broad bearing surface above workpiece
• Zinc finish adds corrosion resistance for indoor and moderate-environment use
• Grade 1016-1024 steel construction meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and ASME B18.6.4 standards
• Inch measurement system; length measured under head

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series No. 6 round head sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel panels, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar sheet metal assemblies requiring a Type U point fastener.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, and electricians using a standard Phillips or slotted driver bit matched to the head recess. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure or HVAC system before fastening panels to live components. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the thread engagement in thin-gauge material. Follow applicable code requirements such as SMACNA ductwork assembly standards or NEC enclosure guidelines where relevant.
