Value Collection R52000846 No. 6 Self Drilling Screw 100 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000846 is a No. 6 self-drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in light metal and sheet material applications. It features a hex washer head and hex drive for positive tool engagement and a built-in bearing surface that eliminates the need for a separate washer. The No. 2 drill point drills its own pilot hole and taps threads in a single pass. Material is AISI 1016/1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. Length under head is 0.5 inches. This screw is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package and is sized and rated to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J78 standards.

These self-drilling screws are suited for residential and light commercial construction and mechanical assembly work where drilling and fastening in one step saves time. Typical applications include attaching sheet metal panels, HVAC ductwork components, metal framing, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-gauge metal work. The hex washer head style is common in roofing, siding, and metal building panel installations. A licensed sheet metal worker, HVAC installer, or general contractor would typically use these in the field.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point drills and taps in a single pass — no pre-drilling required
• Hex washer head provides a built-in bearing surface and resists pull-through
• Hex drive accepts standard nut-driver bits and reduces cam-out
• AISI 1016/1024 steel construction meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J78 standards
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection for interior and sheltered exterior use
• 0.5 inch length under head suits thin-gauge sheet metal and light structural applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 self-drilling fastener for use in light-gauge steel and sheet metal applications where a hex washer head screw conforming to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J78 is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a power screwdriver or drill fitted with the appropriate hex driver bit. Ensure the work material is secure before driving to prevent walking of the drill point. Do not overdrive — hex washer head screws can strip threads or deform the bearing surface if torque is excessive. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer fastener schedules for structural or load-bearing connections.
