Value Collection R52000947 No 10 Pan Head Self Drilling Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000947 is a No. 10 pan head self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in light-gauge metal and similar materials. It features a No. 3 drill point that bores its own pilot hole, eliminating a separate drilling step. The Phillips drive pan head seats flush and provides solid torque transfer during installation. Made from Grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw resists corrosion in standard service environments. It is sold in multiples of 100, making it well suited for production assembly, sheet metal work, HVAC ductwork fabrication, and general trade use.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general contractors for attaching light-gauge metal panels, duct sections, electrical enclosures, and similar assemblies. The 1.25-inch length under head provides adequate thread engagement in typical thin-stock applications. The No. 3 drill point is rated for drilling through materials up to approximately the gauge range that corresponds to that point size, making it appropriate for standard sheet metal and light structural applications encountered in residential and light commercial work.

Key Features

• No. 3 drill point bores its own pilot hole for single-step fastening
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface and low-profile sit
• Phillips drive for compatibility with standard power and hand tools
• Grade 1016/1024 steel construction for reliable strength in metal-to-metal applications
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in typical indoor service conditions
• Meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J78 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 pan head self drilling screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, and general metal fastening applications where a No. 3 drill point is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general trades using a standard Phillips-tip power screwdriver or drill driver. Ensure the workpiece is secured before driving. Do not overdrive — excessive torque will strip the thread engagement in thin-gauge material. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA standards for ductwork fastening patterns and spacing.
