Value Collection R58005066 Sheet Metal Screw 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005066 is a No. 14 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar materials in trade and industrial applications. Featuring a Phillips drive and an uncoated Grade 316 stainless steel construction, this screw delivers strong corrosion resistance in wet, coastal, and chemically aggressive environments. The length under head measures 1.25 inches, making it suited for moderate-thickness material stacks. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces. HVAC installers, plumbers, electricians, and sheet metal workers rely on this fastener type for ductwork connections, panel attachments, and equipment enclosure assembly.

This screw is appropriate for residential and commercial applications where corrosion resistance is a primary concern, such as marine environments, food-service facilities, chemical plants, and coastal HVAC installations. The Grade 316 stainless steel alloy provides superior resistance to chlorides and oxidation compared to Grade 304, making it a preferred choice when longevity under harsh exposure is required. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface suitable for flush or near-flush fastening on thin sheet stock.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion and chloride resistance
• No. 14 thread size for reliable engagement in light-gauge sheet metal
• Pan head profile provides broad clamping surface with low-profile seating
• Phillips drive for compatibility with standard power tools and hand drivers
• 1.25-inch length under head accommodates moderate material stack-ups
• Uncoated finish — no coating variation to affect thread fit or corrosion rating

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 14 pan head Phillips sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal, thin-wall enclosures, ductwork flanges, and similar applications requiring a corrosion-resistant fastener.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and sheet metal workers using a Phillips bit driver or drill driver set to appropriate clutch torque to avoid stripping the drive or over-driving into thin material. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended when fastening harder alloys or thicker stock to reduce material distortion. Always verify that the screw length under head is appropriate for the combined thickness of all layers being joined before driving. When used in stainless-to-stainless contact, apply an anti-seize compound to the threads to prevent galling during installation.
