Value Collection R58005318 No. 10 Hex Washer Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005318 is a No. 10 hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, ductwork, enclosures, and similar sheet metal assemblies. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver or bit. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this screw provides strong corrosion resistance in wet, coastal, or chemically exposed environments. The length under head measures 0.625 inches, making it suited for light-gauge sheet metal connections where a short grip length is required. HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers commonly use this fastener during equipment installation and panel assembly.

This screw is used in residential and commercial trade applications wherever No. 10 sheet metal fasteners are required. Typical uses include securing HVAC duct sections, electrical enclosure covers, metal junction box knockouts, and sheet metal brackets. The hex washer head provides a bearing surface that distributes clamping load across the material face, reducing pull-through risk on thin gauge stock. Grade 316 stainless construction makes it a sound choice in coastal installations, pool equipment enclosures, and any environment where standard carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size for standard sheet metal fastening applications
• Hex washer head style distributes clamping load and resists pull-through on thin material
• Slotted drive accepts flat-blade screwdrivers and bits
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Uncoated finish — no coating to chip, flake, or contaminate the joint
• 0.625 inch length under head suited for light-gauge sheet metal connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 hex washer head sheet metal screw compatible with light-gauge sheet metal assemblies in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and pool equipment applications where Grade 316 stainless steel fasteners are specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians using a flat-blade screwdriver or a slotted bit in a power driver. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and isolate HVAC equipment before removing or replacing panel fasteners. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in thicker gauge stock helps prevent material distortion and reduces drive torque. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing on ductwork and enclosure panels.
