Value Collection R52000868 Sheet Metal Screw Size 6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000868 is a size 6 hex washer head slotted sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin-gauge metal panels, brackets, and sheet metal assemblies. Manufactured from AISI 1016 steel with a zinc plated finish, it delivers corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light-duty applications. The hex washer head provides a built-in bearing surface that distributes clamping load and resists pull-through on thin sheet stock. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. At 2 inches length under head, this fastener suits applications requiring a medium-length engagement in sheet metal or light structural components.

This screw is used in residential and commercial sheet metal work, HVAC ductwork fabrication, electrical enclosure assembly, and general trade fabrication where a reliable, code-recognized sheet metal fastener is required. It conforms to ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 dimensional standards, making it appropriate wherever those standards are specified in fabrication or installation work. This item is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

• Hex washer head style distributes clamping load and resists pull-through on thin sheet metal
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bit drivers
• AISI 1016 steel construction meets ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards
• Zinc plated finish provides corrosion resistance for general-purpose indoor use
• 2 inch length under head suits medium-depth sheet metal fastening applications
• Grade 1016-1024 material classification for consistent mechanical properties

Compatibility

Designed as a standard size 6 sheet metal screw for use in general HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, metal framing, and light fabrication applications where ASME B18.6.3 or ASME B18.6.4 compliant fasteners are required.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC fabricators, electricians, and general trade mechanics using a flat-blade screwdriver or hex driver. Pre-drilling a pilot hole appropriate to the gauge and material is recommended to prevent sheet distortion and ensure thread engagement. Avoid overtorquing, which can strip the sheet metal or shear the fastener at small diameters. Follow applicable SMACNA, NEC, or IFGC guidelines when fastening ductwork or electrical enclosures.
