Value Collection R58005298 No. 6 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005298 is a No. 6 hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal applications. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver or bit. The screw measures 1-1/4 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Grade 316 offers superior corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304, making it well suited for humid, coastal, or chemically exposed environments. This fastener is sized for trade and light industrial use where a hex washer head provides bearing surface and pull-through resistance.

This screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial sheet metal work, HVAC duct assembly, electrical panel and enclosure fabrication, and any application where corrosion resistance is a priority. The hex washer head style allows installation with a nut driver, hex bit, or flat-blade driver, giving the installer flexibility on the job. The 1-1/4-inch under-head length is a common size for fastening light-gauge sheet metal panels and brackets.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for high corrosion resistance in wet and coastal environments
• No. 6 thread size — standard for light-gauge sheet metal fastening
• 1-1/4 inches length under head — suits typical duct and enclosure panel thicknesses
• Hex washer head provides a wide bearing surface and reduces pull-through
• Slotted drive accepts flat-blade screwdriver or flat bit — no specialty tool required
• Uncoated finish — no coating to chip, flake, or contaminate the work surface

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar trade applications requiring a hex washer head slotted fastener.

Installation Notes

Install with a flat-blade screwdriver, flat bit, or hex nut driver sized for a No. 6 screw head. Pre-drill or self-tap per the gauge of the base material — confirm the screw thread form is compatible with the material thickness before driving. De-energize any electrical enclosure and follow applicable NEC guidelines before fastening inside live panels. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur; use appropriate anti-seize compound if repeated removal is expected.
