Value Collection R58005410 No. 12 Oval Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005410 is a No. 12 oval head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, ductwork, brackets, and light-gauge metal assemblies. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver, making it a practical choice in the field when specialty bits are not available. At 2 inches overall length, this screw provides adequate thread engagement for sheet metal applications requiring a secure, flush-to-slightly-raised head profile. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, it delivers strong corrosion resistance in wet, coastal, or chemically exposed environments where standard carbon steel fasteners would degrade prematurely.

This screw is suited for HVAC duct assembly, sheet metal fabrication, equipment enclosures, and outdoor or marine-adjacent installations where moisture and corrosion are ongoing concerns. Grade 316 stainless is commonly specified in coastal construction, food-service environments, and industrial settings with exposure to chlorides or mild acids. The oval head style sits slightly proud of the surface, distributing load across the material face while providing a finished appearance on exposed panels. Installers in mechanical, plumbing, and light construction trades will find this fastener applicable across a wide range of thin-metal joining tasks.

Key Features

• No. 12 thread size for reliable engagement in light-gauge sheet metal
• 2 inches overall length provides solid thread depth for panel fastening
• Oval head profile distributes clamping load and offers a finished look on visible surfaces
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically aggressive environments
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and natural stainless appearance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 12 sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge metal panels, ductwork, enclosures, and fabricated assemblies requiring an oval head slotted fastener in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, or general mechanical tradespeople using a flat-blade screwdriver or compatible power driver bit. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in thicker-gauge material is recommended to prevent material distortion and reduce drive torque. Ensure the mating material is de-energized and secured before fastening components on or near electrical enclosures. Do not overtighten, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling when driven at high speed without lubrication.
