Value Collection R58005332 No. 12 Sheet Metal Screw 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005332 is a No. 12 sheet metal screw with a hex washer head and slotted drive, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. The screw measures 0.75 inches in length under head. Grade 316 stainless steel provides strong corrosion resistance, making this fastener well-suited for demanding environments where standard carbon steel or lower-grade stainless would degrade. HVAC technicians, plumbers, sheet metal fabricators, and general trade contractors use this type of screw for securing thin-gauge metal assemblies, panels, and ductwork components.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal applications in both residential and commercial settings. The hex washer head allows for wrench or nut driver installation and provides a broad bearing surface that resists pull-through in thin material. The slotted drive offers a secondary drive option when a hex driver is unavailable. Typical applications include HVAC duct assembly, electrical enclosure fastening, rooftop equipment panels, and marine or coastal installations where saltwater exposure demands a higher-grade alloy.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or coastal environments
• No. 12 thread size with 0.75-inch length under head for light-gauge sheet metal work
• Hex washer head provides wide bearing surface and wrench or nut driver compatibility
• Slotted drive serves as a secondary drive option in the field
• Uncoated finish — no risk of coating delamination or galvanic interference with stainless substrate
• Sold in multiples of 50 per minimum order quantity

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 12 sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge metal panels, enclosures, ductwork, and similar thin-metal assemblies where Grade 316 stainless steel corrosion resistance is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a hex nut driver or open-end wrench sized to the hex washer head; a slotted screwdriver may be used when a nut driver is not available. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in the base material is recommended to prevent metal deformation and ensure proper thread engagement. De-energize any electrical enclosure or system panel before fastening to avoid shock hazard. Follow applicable building and mechanical codes for fastener spacing and edge-distance requirements when securing structural or pressure-containing assemblies.
