Value Collection R52001130 Self Drilling Screw 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52001130 is a hex washer head self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening without a pre-drilled pilot hole. Built from Grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this screw features a No. 3 drill point that bores through light-gauge metal as it drives. The hex washer head accepts a hex drive bit for consistent torque application. At 1.5 inches in length under the head and 5/16 inch in diameter, it is sized for structural and sheet metal attachment tasks common in HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical trade work.

This self drilling screw is suited for light commercial and residential applications where fastening sheet metal panels, ductwork flanges, equipment enclosures, or structural framing components is required. The No. 3 drill point is appropriate for moderate-gauge steel substrates. Tradespeople in HVAC and electrical fields commonly use this fastener type when assembling or securing metal components in the field. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces per order.

Key Features

• No. 3 drill point bores its own pilot hole in light-to-moderate gauge steel
• Hex washer head with hex drive for secure bit engagement and torque control
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected outdoor use
• Grade 1016-1024 steel construction meets AISI 1016 and ASME B18.6.3 standards
• 1.5 inch length under head suits standard sheet metal and panel fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose self drilling fastener for light-gauge steel sheet metal, ductwork, enclosures, and structural metal framing applications where a No. 3 drill point and 5/16 inch hex washer head configuration is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a hex drive bit and a variable-speed drill or screw gun. Set the clutch or torque limiter appropriately to avoid overdriving and stripping the fastener. Verify substrate gauge compatibility with the No. 3 drill point rating before driving. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA standards for ductwork fastening or local mechanical codes for structural connections.
