Value Collection R58005016 No. 6 Pan Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005016 is a No. 6 pan head sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in light-gauge metal applications. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, this screw delivers strong corrosion resistance in wet, marine, and chemically exposed environments. The pan head profile sits low and distributes clamping force over a broad area, while the Phillips drive allows for fast installation with standard hand or power tools. At 1 inch length under head, it is suited for typical sheet metal joining tasks in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and pool equipment enclosures. No coating is applied, leaving the base 316 alloy fully exposed for maximum chemical and saltwater resistance.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and pool service professionals to fasten sheet metal panels, junction boxes, equipment housings, and ductwork components. The No. 6 diameter is a standard size for light sheet metal work and fits a wide range of pre-drilled or self-tapped applications in residential and commercial service environments. Grade 316 stainless steel is the preferred material in coastal and high-humidity installations where standard steel or 18-8 stainless would be prone to rust or staining.

Key Features

• Phillips drive compatible with standard bits and power drivers for fast installation
• Uncoated finish preserves full corrosion-resistant properties of the base alloy
• No. 6 thread size suits a wide range of light-gauge sheet metal fastening tasks
• 1 inch length under head handles typical panel and housing thicknesses encountered in trade work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 pan head Phillips sheet metal screw for general fastening use in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and pool equipment applications requiring Grade 316 stainless steel hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips-tip screwdriver or power driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the drive recess in the stainless head. Pre-drilling or pre-punching a pilot hole in the base metal is recommended to reduce installation force and prevent material distortion. De-energize electrical equipment and shut off any associated systems before accessing panels or enclosures. Stainless steel fasteners can be prone to galling during installation — use a slow, steady driving speed and avoid excessive force.
