Value Collection R58005340 Sheet Metal Screw No. 12 2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005340 is a No. 12 sheet metal screw with a hex washer head and slotted drive, designed for fastening thin-gauge sheet metal and similar materials in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and general trade applications. The screw measures 2 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Grade 316 stainless offers superior corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304, making it well suited for humid, coastal, or chemically aggressive environments. A licensed technician or journeyman installer reaching for a reliable corrosion-resistant fastener for sheet metal work will find this screw a straightforward match.

This fastener is used in residential and commercial trade applications where a corrosion-resistant sheet metal screw is required. Typical scenarios include duct work assembly, equipment enclosure fastening, electrical panel work, and general mechanical installations where moisture or chemical exposure is a concern. The hex washer head provides a bearing surface that resists pull-through, and the slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted hex-washer-head drive bits.

Key Features

• No. 12 thread size for strong thread engagement in sheet metal
• 2-inch length under head for fastening through layered or thicker sheet material
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• Hex washer head style provides wide bearing surface to reduce pull-through
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade drivers and combination bits
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency at the thread

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 12 hex washer head slotted sheet metal screw suitable for use in sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, mechanical enclosures, and similar trade fastening applications requiring Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver or a slotted hex washer head driver bit of the appropriate size. Ensure the workpiece is secured before driving to prevent material movement. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in heavier-gauge material is recommended to reduce fastener stress and prevent thread stripping. Follow applicable mechanical or electrical codes for fastener spacing and material compatibility.
