Value Collection R58005268 No. 12 Flat Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005268 is a No. 12 flat head Phillips sheet metal screw manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel. At 1.5 inches overall length, this fastener is built for corrosion-resistant clamping and joining of sheet metal assemblies in demanding environments. Grade 316 stainless steel provides superior resistance to chlorides and harsh chemicals compared to standard 304-grade hardware, making it a reliable choice where moisture, saltwater exposure, or chemical contact is a concern. The uncoated finish delivers a clean, consistent appearance straight from the box. Licensed tradespeople and experienced installers select this screw for light-gauge metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, enclosures, and marine or coastal applications.

This fastener is suited for use in residential and commercial installations where corrosion resistance is a priority. Typical applications include sheet metal ductwork connections, electrical enclosure assembly, rooftop equipment mounting, and coastal or marine environments where standard carbon steel fasteners would quickly corrode. The flat head profile sits flush with the workpiece surface, and the Phillips drive allows for fast installation with standard power or hand tools. It is sold in minimum quantities of 25 units per order.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and chemical resistance
• No. 12 thread size with 1.5-inch overall length for reliable sheet metal joining
• Flat head profile seats flush with the mating surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard hand and power drivers
• Uncoated finish — no coating degradation over time
• Suitable for marine, coastal, and chemical-exposure environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 12 flat head Phillips sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge metal assemblies, HVAC sheet metal work, enclosures, and similar trade applications requiring a 1.5-inch Grade 316 stainless steel fastener.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors using a Phillips-head screwdriver or power driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the drive or thread. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in heavier-gauge material is recommended to prevent distortion and ensure proper thread engagement. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and shut down HVAC systems before fastener work on live assemblies. Follow applicable codes including SMACNA standards for ductwork and NEC requirements for electrical enclosures.
