Value Collection R58005152 No. 6 Flat Head Slotted Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005152 is a No. 6 flat head slotted sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal materials in trade and industrial applications. Measuring 0.625 inches in overall length, this screw is machined from Grade 316 stainless steel, which provides strong resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure. The flat head profile sits flush with the work surface after installation, making it well suited for applications where a smooth, low-profile finish is required. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. This fastener ships in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

This screw is appropriate for use in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, plumbing access panels, pool equipment housings, and general sheet metal assembly work. The Grade 316 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in damp, coastal, or chemically active environments where carbon steel fasteners would be prone to rust. Trades including HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians commonly use this size and style when securing light-gauge metal panels and covers.

Key Features

• No. 6 thread size for light-gauge sheet metal fastening
• 0.625 inch overall length for shallow-depth applications
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Flat head profile sits flush with the work surface
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Uncoated finish — no additional surface treatment to interfere with stainless base material

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 flat head slotted sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge metal panels, covers, and enclosures typical in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and pool equipment service work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot width. Pilot holes are recommended in harder or thicker gauge metals to prevent material distortion and reduce the risk of screw breakage. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure and shut off system power before fastening panels. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel screws, as the material is susceptible to galling and thread seizure without proper technique or lubrication.
