Value Collection R58005200 Sheet Metal Screw 12 2in 316SS

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005200 is a No. 12 flat head slotted sheet metal screw manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Measuring 2 inches in overall length, this screw is designed for fastening sheet metal and thin-gauge materials where corrosion resistance is a priority. Grade 316 stainless steel provides superior resistance to chlorides and harsh environments compared to standard 304 grade, making it well suited for marine, coastal, and chemical-exposure applications. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the surface of the workpiece, and the slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Installation is handled by mechanical contractors, sheet metal workers, and maintenance technicians working in commercial or industrial settings.

This screw is used in sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork assembly, enclosure mounting, and general metal fastening tasks where a flush head profile is required. The No. 12 thread size is common in medium-duty sheet metal applications. The uncoated Grade 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for outdoor, wet, or chemically aggressive environments where standard steel or zinc-plated fasteners would corrode prematurely. Sold in minimum order quantities of 25 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh and marine environments
• Flat head profile allows flush or countersunk installation in sheet metal
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bits
• Uncoated finish preserves the natural corrosion resistance of 316 stainless steel
• No. 12 thread size suits medium-duty sheet metal fastening applications
• 2 inches overall length provides adequate thread engagement across a range of material thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 12 flat head slotted sheet metal screw for use in sheet metal assemblies, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-gauge metal fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, and maintenance mechanics using a flat-blade screwdriver or appropriate power driver bit. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in the base material is recommended to prevent distortion of thin-gauge sheet metal and to reduce drive torque. When installing in stainless steel mating surfaces, use an anti-seize compound to prevent galling. Always confirm the pilot hole diameter matches the thread size requirements for the material thickness being fastened.
