Value Collection R55000052 No. 12 Pan Head Self Drilling Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R55000052 is a No. 12 self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening without a pre-drilled pilot hole. Built with a No. 3 drill point, this screw cuts through material cleanly as it drives. The pan head profile sits low and flat against the work surface, and the Phillips drive provides consistent torque transfer with standard hand and power tools. Constructed from Grade 410 stainless steel, the fastener offers solid corrosion resistance for applications where moisture or chemical exposure is a factor. This screw measures 1-1/2 inches in length under the head and weighs approximately 0.01 pounds. It is used by tradespeople across HVAC, sheet metal, plumbing, and general construction work.

The R55000052 self drilling screw suits light to medium gauge metal fastening tasks common in commercial and residential construction. Typical applications include securing sheet metal panels, HVAC ductwork, metal framing components, and equipment enclosures. The self drilling point eliminates the need for a separate drilling step, reducing installation time on production runs or repetitive field work. Grade 410 stainless steel construction makes this screw suitable for environments where mild to moderate corrosion resistance is required. This item is sold individually and requires a minimum order quantity of 100 units per order.

Key Features

• No. 3 drill point self-taps and drives in a single step, eliminating pilot hole requirements
• Grade 410 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load evenly across the work surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard screw guns, drills, and bit sets
• No. 12 screw size suitable for light to medium gauge sheet metal fastening
• Inch measurement system with 1-1/2 inch length under head for consistent fitment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 12 self drilling screw for use with light to medium gauge sheet metal, metal framing, and similar substrates where a No. 3 drill point is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tradespeople using a screw gun or variable-speed drill with a Phillips bit. No pilot hole is required, but material gauge should be matched to the No. 3 drill point rating to avoid tip breakage or thread stripping. Maintain consistent drive speed and avoid over-torquing, which can strip the drive recess or damage the material surface. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and load requirements.
