Value Collection R58005142 No. 4 Flat Head Slotted Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005142 is a No. 4 flat head slotted sheet metal screw manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. At 0.375 inches overall length, this screw is designed for fastening light-gauge sheet metal, thin panels, and similar materials where a flush seating surface is required. Grade 316 stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard 304 grade, making it a reliable choice in environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, or salt air. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and pool equipment applications routinely specify 316 stainless hardware where long-term corrosion resistance is a priority.

This screw is suited for light sheet metal fabrication and assembly tasks in both residential and commercial settings. Common applications include securing ductwork access panels, electrical enclosure covers, equipment housings, and thin-gauge metal brackets. The flat head profile sits flush with or slightly below the surface of the workpiece, reducing snag points in finished assemblies. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. This item is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or general tradespeople using a flat-blade screwdriver or appropriate bit driver. Pilot holes may be required depending on metal gauge and hardness to prevent material distortion. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening or removing screws on electrical enclosures or control panels. Do not overtighten — sheet metal threads are shallow and can strip if excessive torque is applied.
