Value Collection R63308441 No. 10 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63308441 is a No. 10 sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge metal panels, ductwork, junction boxes, and similar sheet metal assemblies. It features a hex washer head with a slotted drive, allowing installation with either a nut driver or a flat-blade screwdriver. The fastener is manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel, which provides corrosion resistance in humid or outdoor environments where carbon steel screws would degrade. The length under head measures 1-1/4 inches, sized for typical light-gauge sheet metal and HVAC cabinet applications requiring a reliable mechanical connection.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers for securing duct panels, electrical enclosure covers, equipment access doors, and similar light-gauge metal assemblies. The hex washer head distributes clamping load across the material surface, reducing pull-through risk on thinner gauges. The slotted drive is a practical choice in field conditions where flat-blade tools are readily available. Grade 18-8 stainless construction makes it appropriate for installations in coastal, high-humidity, or corrosive environments where long-term fastener integrity matters.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size suitable for light-gauge sheet metal fastening applications
• Hex washer head accepts standard nut driver or socket for fast power-tool installation
• Slotted drive provides flat-blade screwdriver compatibility in the field
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in humid and outdoor environments
• 1-1/4 inch length under head fits typical HVAC panel and enclosure wall thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal assembly work where a hex washer head slotted fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a nut driver, hex bit, or flat-blade screwdriver. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and shut down HVAC equipment before fastening or removing screws on energized panels or duct assemblies. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in heavier gauge stock will reduce fastener cam-out and extend tool life. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer instructions for panel assembly requirements.
