Value Collection R58005148 No. 6 Flat Head Slotted Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005148 is a No. 6 flat head slotted sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar light-gauge sheet metal assemblies. The flat head profile sits flush with the material surface after installation, which is important in applications where a protruding head would interfere with mating parts or covers. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this screw offers strong corrosion resistance, making it suitable for humid, wet, or chemically exposed environments. Overall length is 0.375 inches. Each unit weighs approximately 0.00144 pounds.

This screw is used in residential and commercial sheet metal work, HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical panel fabrication, and general light-gauge metal fastening tasks. The slotted drive works with standard flat-blade screwdrivers or slotted bits, which remain common in field kits and service vans. Grade 316 stainless steel construction makes this fastener appropriate for coastal, marine-adjacent, or high-moisture service environments where standard carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet or chemically aggressive environments
• Flat head profile seats flush with the material surface for a clean, low-profile finish
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bits
• No. 6 thread size suitable for light-gauge sheet metal fastening applications
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and avoids coating delamination in service
• 0.375-inch overall length sized for thin sheet metal panel applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service-stock fastener for light-gauge sheet metal applications requiring a No. 6 flat head slotted screw in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver or matching slotted driver bit. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in the sheet metal is recommended to prevent material distortion and reduce cam-out risk with the slotted drive. Power down and de-energize any electrical enclosure or HVAC system before fastening panels or covers. Avoid overtorquing, as No. 6 screws in thin sheet metal can strip the material or shear the fastener head if excessive force is applied.
