Value Collection R58005186 No. 10 Flat Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005186 is a No. 10 flat head slotted sheet metal screw manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel. At 1-1/2 inches overall length, this screw is designed for fastening sheet metal components in corrosive or high-moisture environments where standard carbon steel fasteners are not suitable. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface, making it a reliable choice when a low-profile finish is required. Grade 316 stainless steel provides superior resistance to chlorides and oxidation compared to Grade 304. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and sheet metal workers commonly use this fastener for ductwork, enclosures, panel assemblies, and equipment housings.

This screw is well-suited for light-gauge sheet metal applications in both residential and commercial settings. Common uses include securing HVAC duct sections, electrical enclosure panels, and metal equipment housings where flush-mount fastening is required. The slotted drive accommodates a standard flat-blade screwdriver, making it accessible with common hand tools found in most trade kits. It is supplied uncoated, relying on the inherent corrosion resistance of Grade 316 stainless steel rather than a surface treatment.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion and chloride resistance
• Flat head profile sits flush with the work surface for a clean, low-profile finish
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• 1-1/2 inch overall length suitable for light- to medium-gauge sheet metal
• Uncoated finish — corrosion resistance comes from the base material, not a surface coating
• No. 10 thread size is a common trade-standard diameter for sheet metal fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 flat head slotted sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot width. Pre-drilling or self-tapping into the work material may be required depending on gauge thickness. Power down or de-energize any electrical or mechanical system before fastening components in place. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur; use appropriate lubrication if driving into tapped holes.
