Value Collection R52001010 No. 12 Self Drilling Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52001010 is a No. 12 self drilling screw designed for metal-to-metal and metal-to-substrate fastening applications in HVAC, mechanical, and light structural work. It features a hex washer head with a hex drive and a No. 3 drill point that cuts its own pilot hole, eliminating the need for pre-drilling in most sheet metal gauges. The shank measures 2.5 inches under the head. The fastener is manufactured from 1016-1024 grade steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in typical indoor and protected outdoor environments. This screw meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 standards.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC duct assembly, metal framing, roofing panel attachment, and general sheet metal fabrication. The No. 3 drill point is suited for thicker gauge steel applications. HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and mechanical contractors use this fastener when speed and reliability are required in light steel assembly. It is sold in multiples of 50 units minimum order quantity.

Key Features

• No. 12 screw size with 2.5 inch length under head for deeper bite in thicker substrates
• No. 3 drill point self-taps through heavier gauge sheet metal without pre-drilling
• Hex washer head with hex drive for positive torque engagement and pull-through resistance
• 1016-1024 grade steel construction meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 standards
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in protected installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 12 self drilling screw suitable for use in sheet metal duct fabrication, metal framing, and general mechanical fastening applications requiring a hex washer head drive style.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a hex-drive bit and a variable-speed drill or screw gun set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid over-driving. Verify substrate gauge compatibility with the No. 3 drill point rating before installation. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection when driving self drilling fasteners into metal. Follow applicable mechanical and building codes for fastener spacing and pull-out requirements in structural applications.
