Value Collection R52000938 No 10 Self Drilling Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000938 is a No. 10 self drilling screw with a hex washer head and hex drive, designed for fast, reliable fastening without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The No. 3 drill point bores through the workpiece and taps its own thread in a single operation. Made from grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw delivers corrosion resistance suitable for general construction, HVAC ductwork, metal framing, and light sheet metal assembly. The 5/8-inch length under head is measured from the underside of the head to the tip. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces.

This screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications where technicians need to attach sheet metal components, duct sections, or metal panels without pre-drilling. HVAC installers, sheet metal workers, and general contractors rely on this style of fastener for duct collars, junction boxes, and metal trim. The hex washer head provides a large bearing surface and positive hex drive engagement, reducing cam-out during installation with a nut driver or hex bit.

Key Features

• No. 3 drill point self-taps and fastens in one step, eliminating the need for a pilot hole
• Hex washer head delivers a wide bearing surface and strong pull-through resistance
• Hex drive accepts standard nut drivers and hex bits for fast power-tool installation
• Grade 1016/1024 steel construction meets AISI, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 standards
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for general indoor and sheltered applications
• 5/8-inch length under head suits thin to medium gauge sheet metal assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series No. 10 self drilling screw suitable for light gauge sheet metal, duct work, and general metal-to-metal fastening applications where a No. 3 drill point is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, or general contractors using a power drill or impact driver fitted with a hex nut driver bit. Ensure the workpiece is secured before driving to prevent spinning or walking of the drill point. Follow applicable codes including SMACNA duct construction standards for HVAC applications. Do not overdrive, as the hex washer head can distort thin gauge material if torque is excessive.
