At 1.5 inches overall length, this fastener is suited for securing sheet metal panels, brackets, and enclosures in corrosive or moisture-prone environments. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when fully driven, making it a common choice in HVAC cabinet assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, and plumbing panel work. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Grade 316 stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance compared to 304, particularly in chloride-rich environments such as coastal installations or pool equipment enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is appropriate for light-gauge sheet metal applications across residential and commercial trades. HVAC technicians use flat head sheet metal screws for attaching duct components, access panels, and equipment covers. Electricians use them in panel and enclosure assembly. Pool and irrigation professionals favor Grade 316 fasteners where salt, chemicals, and humidity accelerate corrosion on lower-grade hardware. Sold in minimum order quantities of 25 units per order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 316 stainless steel construction for high corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo. 12 thread size for secure engagement in light-gauge sheet metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5-inch overall length accommodates standard panel and enclosure material thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat head profile seats flush with the work surface when fully driven\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish preserves the natural corrosion resistance of 316 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose No. 12 flat head slotted sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge metal fabrication, HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and corrosive-environment installations where Grade 316 stainless steel is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by the applicable trade — HVAC technicians, electricians, or plumbers — depending on the assembly being fastened. Power down or de-energize any equipment before driving fasteners into or near electrical enclosures. Use a correctly sized flat-blade screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out and fastener head damage. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in heavier-gauge material prevents thread stripping and reduces drive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Slotted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01172 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161506\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: R58005198\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51708617523506,"sku":"R58005198","price":3244.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/85e662f2c363860004d938974fd8b15c.jpg?v=1788447433","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-r58005198-sheet-metal-screw-no-12-flat-head","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
