Value Collection R58005270 No.12 Flat Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005270 is a No. 12 flat head Phillips sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal components in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication work. Measuring 2 inches in overall length, this screw is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, which provides strong corrosion resistance in wet, coastal, or chemically exposed environments. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when driven fully, making it well suited for applications where a low-profile finish is required. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits and power drivers commonly used in the trades.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade applications including HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, plumbing fixture mounting, and general sheet metal work. Its Grade 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for outdoor, marine-adjacent, or high-humidity installations where carbon steel or Grade 18-8 fasteners would be prone to premature corrosion. It is typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers during equipment installation and service work.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• No. 12 thread size provides strong holding power in light-gauge sheet metal applications
• 2-inch overall length suits a range of panel thicknesses and layered sheet metal assemblies
• Flat head design sits flush with the work surface when fully seated
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 bits and common power tools
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and avoids coating delamination over time

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 12 flat head Phillips sheet metal screw for use in residential and commercial HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication where Grade 316 stainless steel fasteners are specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers. De-energize all electrical panels and equipment before fastening near live components in accordance with applicable NEC and OSHA lockout/tagout requirements. Use a No. 2 Phillips bit and appropriate torque to avoid stripping the drive recess or deforming thin sheet metal. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in heavier gauge material is recommended to prevent sheet distortion and ease seating.
