Value Collection R52000956 No. 10 Self Drilling Screw 3in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000956 is a No. 10 self-drilling screw with a hex washer head and No. 3 drill point, manufactured from Grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish. At 3 inches in length under the head, this fastener drills its own pilot hole and threads into the material in a single operation, eliminating the need for a separate drilling step. The hex washer head provides a wide bearing surface and is driven with a standard hex bit. These screws meet AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 standards, making them a reliable choice for structural and sheet-metal fastening applications across trade and light industrial use.

Self-drilling screws of this type are commonly used in HVAC ductwork fabrication, metal framing, light-gauge steel construction, and general sheet-metal assembly. The No. 3 drill point is suited for penetrating thicker gauge metal without pre-drilling. The minimum order quantity is 50 pieces, packaged as a single unit, making this appropriate for job-site stocking or shop inventory replenishment by HVAC technicians, sheet-metal workers, and general contractors.

Key Features

• No. 3 drill point self-taps through metal without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Hex washer head provides wide bearing surface and resists pull-through
• Hex drive compatible with standard hex bit drivers and nut drivers
• Grade 1016-1024 steel construction for reliable mechanical strength
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance in typical indoor applications
• Meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in light-gauge steel sheet-metal assemblies, HVAC ductwork, and metal framing applications where a No. 10 self-drilling screw with a No. 3 drill point is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a hex-drive bit or nut driver at controlled speed to avoid overdriving and stripping the material. Ensure the workpiece is secured before driving. Follow applicable codes including SMACNA standards for duct fastening applications. Do not use in applications requiring corrosion resistance beyond the zinc-plated finish rating, such as exterior or high-humidity environments.
