Value Collection R58005160 No. 6 Flat Head Slotted Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005160 is a No. 6 flat head slotted sheet metal screw manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. At 1-1/2 inches overall length, this fastener is designed for self-tapping applications in thin metal substrates including sheet metal panels, housings, and enclosures found throughout HVAC, electrical, and plumbing equipment. Grade 316 stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304, making it a reliable choice in wet, coastal, or chemically aggressive environments. The flat head profile sits flush with the work surface when fully driven, reducing snag points in finished assemblies.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal fabrication and field service work across residential and commercial trade applications. Common uses include securing duct covers, electrical junction box covers, access panels, equipment housings, and conduit supports where a flush finished surface is required. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers, making it practical for field use without specialized tooling. This fastener is sold in minimum order quantities of 50 pieces per transaction.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for strong corrosion resistance in harsh or high-moisture environments
• Flat head profile seats flush with the work surface for clean, snag-free finished assemblies
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers — no specialty bits required
• 1-1/2 inches overall length suits light-gauge to medium-gauge sheet metal applications
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and thread engagement without coating buildup
• No. 6 thread size is a standard fastener dimension widely used in HVAC and electrical panel assembly

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge metal assemblies typical of HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and plumbing access covers.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers during equipment assembly, panel replacement, or access cover service. Power down and de-energize any electrical equipment before fastening into enclosures or panels. Use a hand screwdriver or low-torque power driver to avoid stripping the slotted drive or deforming light-gauge metal. Follow applicable NEC or IFGC guidelines when fastening into equipment covered by those codes.
