Value Collection R52000944 No. 10 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000944 is a No. 10 hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal components in light fabrication, HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal applications. The screw measures 1.25 inches under the head and is manufactured from Grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in typical indoor installations. The Type AB point allows for self-tapping engagement into pre-punched or drilled sheet metal without a separate tapping operation. Drive engagement is via a hex socket, making it compatible with standard hex drivers and nut drivers common in trade tool kits.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial sheet metal work including HVAC duct connections, electrical panel knockouts, metal framing, and equipment enclosure assembly. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface that distributes clamping load across thin-gauge sheet metal, reducing the risk of pull-through. It is typically installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal fabricators, and electricians working with light-gauge steel assemblies. These screws are sold in minimum order quantities of 100 units per order, with each package containing 1 unit count as listed.

Key Features

• Type AB self-tapping point for use in pre-punched or drilled sheet metal without a tapping step
• Hex washer head provides wide bearing surface to distribute load on thin-gauge material
• Hex drive compatible with standard nut drivers and hex-drive bits
• Zinc-plated Grade 1016-1024 steel construction for strength and corrosion resistance
• Meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards
• 1.25-inch length under head suits typical single and double sheet metal lap joints

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fastener for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies in HVAC, electrical, and general fabrication applications requiring a No. 10 Type AB hex washer head screw.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, or electricians using a hex-drive bit or nut driver sized to the hex head. Ensure the sheet metal substrate is pre-punched or drilled to the correct pilot hole diameter for a No. 10 Type AB screw per ASME B18.6.4 recommendations. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before fastening into or adjacent to energized enclosures per applicable NEC requirements. Do not overdrive — hex washer head screws can strip or distort thin-gauge material if torque is not controlled.
