Value Collection R58005188 No. 10 Flat Head Slotted Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005188 is a No. 10 flat head slotted sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar trade applications. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this screw offers strong corrosion resistance in demanding environments including coastal, chemical-exposed, and high-moisture settings. At 2 inches overall length, it provides adequate thread engagement for standard-gauge sheet metal panels and light structural assemblies. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers commonly use this fastener when assembling duct sections, junction boxes, and equipment panels where a flush-seating flat head profile is required.

This fastener is suited for residential and commercial trade applications where corrosion resistance and flush seating are priorities. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the surface of the workpiece, reducing snag points in finished assemblies. The slotted drive accommodates a standard flat-blade screwdriver, making it accessible on job sites where specialized driver bits may not be at hand. Grade 316 stainless steel is the preferred material grade in environments with exposure to moisture, salt air, or mild chemicals, making this screw appropriate for rooftop equipment, marine-adjacent installations, and wet-area electrical work.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments
• Flat head profile seats flush with the workpiece surface for clean, snag-free finishes
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• 2-inch overall length provides solid thread engagement in standard sheet metal gauges
• Uncoated finish — no coating to chip, flake, or contaminate the work surface

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for No. 10 flat head slotted sheet metal screw applications in HVAC, electrical, and sheet metal fabrication assemblies.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a flat-blade screwdriver or compatible bit driver. Ensure the workpiece is de-energized before fastening in or near electrical enclosures, and follow all applicable NEC or IFGC guidelines for equipment access panel reassembly. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in heavier-gauge material reduces the risk of material distortion and fastener cam-out. Do not overtighten — sheet metal threads are shallow and over-torquing can strip the material.
