Value Collection R58005192 No. 12 Flat Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005192 is a No. 12 flat head slotted sheet metal screw manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. At 0.75 inches overall length, this screw is suited for fastening thin-gauge sheet metal assemblies in corrosive or marine-adjacent environments where standard carbon steel hardware would be inadequate. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver, making it a straightforward choice for field installation or production line assembly. Grade 316 stainless provides superior chloride and oxidation resistance compared to Grade 304, making it appropriate for HVAC enclosures, plumbing panels, electrical cabinets, and other applications exposed to moisture or chemical wash-down conditions.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians when fastening access panels, junction box covers, equipment enclosures, or ductwork components where corrosion resistance is a requirement. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface after installation, which is useful in applications where a protruding head would interfere with panel clearance or gasket seating. Minimum order quantity is 50 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for strong resistance to corrosion and chloride exposure
• Flat head profile seats flush with the fastened surface for clean, low-profile installations
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bits
• No. 12 thread size suitable for thin-gauge sheet metal applications
• 0.75 inch overall length for shallow-depth fastening tasks
• Uncoated finish — no coating to chip, flake, or contaminate sealed enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style sheet metal fastener for use in residential and light commercial HVAC, plumbing, and electrical enclosure applications requiring a No. 12 flat head slotted screw in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, or plumbers as part of panel, enclosure, or ductwork assembly. De-energize all electrical circuits and shut off relevant system power before fastening or removing enclosure hardware. Use a correctly sized flat-blade screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out and head damage on the slotted drive. Verify that the receiving sheet metal thickness is appropriate for a No. 12 thread to achieve adequate thread engagement without strip-out.
