Value Collection R52001000 No. 12 Oval Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52001000 is a No. 12 oval head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal and light-gauge materials in mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. Driven by a No. 3 Phillips driver, it features a Type AB point for easy thread engagement without a pre-drilled pilot hole in thinner gauges. The screw measures 1 inch in overall length and is manufactured from Grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. It conforms to AISI 1016, ANSI/ASME B18.6.4, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J933 standards. Technicians and installers working in sheet metal ducting, electrical enclosures, and equipment panels will find this a standard-duty fastener for everyday field use.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where No. 12 sheet metal fasteners are specified. Common install scenarios include HVAC duct assembly and panel attachment, electrical junction box covers, equipment housing, and general metal-to-metal fastening in the field. The oval head profile sits slightly above the surface, providing a finished appearance where fastener visibility matters. Sold in quantities of 100 per order.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade mechanics using a No. 3 Phillips screwdriver or matching bit. Always de-energize electrical panels and power down HVAC equipment before fastening enclosures or covers. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the thread engagement in thin sheet metal. Follow applicable NEC or IFGC guidelines when fastening within code-regulated assemblies.
