Value Collection R58005290 No 6 Sheet Metal Screw 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005290 is a No. 6 sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, and sheet goods in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. The hex washer head provides a wide bearing surface and allows for positive drive with a standard hex driver or slotted screwdriver. The screw measures 0.5 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, offering strong resistance to corrosion in wet, coastal, or chemically active environments. This screw is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

This fastener is suited for residential and commercial trade work where corrosion resistance is a priority. Typical applications include securing ductwork components, electrical enclosures, pool equipment panels, and outdoor sheet metal assemblies. The hex washer head and slotted drive make it compatible with common hand tools and power drivers used in the field. Grade 316 stainless steel construction makes it a preferred choice in high-humidity or salt-air environments where standard zinc-plated or Grade 18-8 fasteners may fail prematurely.

Key Features

• No. 6 thread size for light-gauge sheet metal fastening
• Hex washer head provides wide bearing surface and reduces pull-through
• Slotted drive accepts both flat-blade and hex-driver bits
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• 0.5 inch length under head suits thin-gauge panel and bracket work
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency at the fastener interface

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 sheet metal screw for use with light-gauge steel, aluminum, and similar thin-material assemblies common in HVAC, electrical, and pool equipment installations.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade professionals using a flat-blade screwdriver or a hex-head driver bit. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in harder or thicker gauge material is recommended to prevent screw camout or panel distortion. Always power down electrical enclosures or HVAC systems before fastening panels. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling during installation — apply appropriate anti-seize compound if repeated removal is anticipated.
