Value Collection R58005414 Sheet Metal Screw No. 14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005414 is a No. 14 oval head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, and enclosures in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Constructed from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this fastener resists corrosion in wet, chemical-exposed, or marine-adjacent environments where lesser alloys would fail. Overall length measures 1 inch. The oval head profile seats flush-to-slightly-raised against the work surface, making it a common choice where a clean finished appearance is needed alongside a secure mechanical hold.

This screw is used wherever a corrosion-resistant sheet metal fastener is required. Typical applications include HVAC ductwork panels, electrical enclosure covers, pool equipment housings, and plumbing access covers. Grade 316 stainless is preferred in coastal installations, chemical rooms, and any environment with persistent moisture or cleaning agents. The slotted oval head style is a long-standing standard in light-gauge sheet metal assembly across residential and light commercial trade work.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• Oval head profile provides a low-profile, finished look while maintaining clamping force
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted bits
• No. 14 thread size suitable for light-gauge sheet metal fastening
• Uncoated finish — no plating to flake, chip, or introduce galvanic incompatibility with stainless hardware
• 1 inch overall length for typical panel and cover fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 14 oval head slotted sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge metal assemblies across HVAC, electrical, pool, and plumbing trade applications where Grade 316 stainless steel fasteners are specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and pool service professionals as part of panel and enclosure assembly. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and shut off relevant systems before removing or replacing fasteners on live equipment. Use a properly sized flat-blade screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in harder-gauge metal is standard practice to prevent material distortion and ensure proper thread engagement.
