Value Collection R58005058 No. 12 Pan Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005058 is a No. 12 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, ductwork, enclosures, and similar light-gauge sheet metal assemblies. Driven with a Phillips bit, the pan head profile sits low and distributes load across the material surface without sinking. Constructed from Grade 316 stainless steel in an uncoated finish, this screw delivers strong corrosion resistance in wet, coastal, or chemically exposed environments. The 1.5-inch length under head suits a range of single- and double-layer sheet metal applications common in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical work. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 25 per purchase.

This fastener is suited for residential and commercial applications where Grade 316 stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. Common install scenarios include HVAC sheet metal ductwork connections, electrical enclosure panels, equipment housings, and marine or coastal installations where standard carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely. Installers working in food-service, chemical-processing, or outdoor environments frequently specify 316 stainless hardware for its superior resistance to chlorides and oxidizing agents compared to 304 stainless.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for strong corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• No. 12 thread size provides robust thread engagement in light-gauge sheet metal
• 1.5-inch length under head accommodates single- and multi-layer sheet metal assemblies
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load and sits flush to the material surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard bits and power drivers used in the trade
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and avoids coating delamination over time

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fastener for No. 12 sheet metal screw applications requiring a pan head Phillips drive in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are typically installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, plumbers, and electricians using a Phillips bit in a hand driver or variable-speed drill. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in heavier-gauge material to prevent thread stripping and reduce drive torque. Ensure the substrate material is clean and free of burrs before fastening. Follow applicable mechanical or sheet metal codes for fastener spacing and pullout requirements in your jurisdiction.
