Value Collection R58005418 Sheet Metal Screw 14 Oval Slotted

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005418 is a size 14 oval-head sheet metal screw with a slotted drive, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. At 1.5 inches overall length, this fastener is built for corrosion-prone environments where standard carbon steel screws fail prematurely. Grade 316 stainless offers superior resistance to chlorides and salt exposure compared to Grade 304, making it a go-to choice where moisture, chemicals, or marine conditions are factors. The oval head provides a low-profile finished appearance with a wider bearing surface than a flat head. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, electrical enclosure work, and general sheet metal fabrication will find this screw appropriate for light-gauge metal joining tasks.

This screw is used in applications requiring a corrosion-resistant fastener in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies. Typical install scenarios include HVAC ductwork accessories, electrical enclosure panels, equipment housings, and outdoor or coastal installations where salt air or moisture accelerates oxidation. The slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade screwdrivers and is common in field repair situations where Phillips or square-drive bits may not be available. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and chloride resistance
• Oval head profile delivers a finished, low-profile appearance on exposed assemblies
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Uncoated finish — no plating to chip, flake, or introduce galvanic incompatibility with stainless substrates
• 1.5-inch overall length suits light- to medium-gauge sheet metal applications
• Size 14 thread provides strong pull-out resistance in thin metal panels

Compatibility

Designed as a corrosion-resistant sheet metal fastener suitable for light-gauge metal panels and enclosures in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and general sheet metal workers using a flat-blade screwdriver or appropriate bit driver. De-energize any electrical enclosure and follow applicable NEC guidelines before fastening panels. Avoid over-torquing slotted-drive screws in thin-gauge material, as stripping the slot or deforming the substrate is a common field error. When fastening into dissimilar metals, verify galvanic compatibility to prevent accelerated corrosion at the joint.
