Value Collection R63611242 No. 10 Truss Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63611242 is a No. 10 truss head sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light-gauge metal assembly. The truss head profile offers a wide, low-profile bearing surface that distributes clamping load across thin materials without pulling through. Driven by a slotted drive, this screw is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bits. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, it resists corrosion in both indoor and outdoor service environments. The 0.75 inch length is measured under the head, making it well suited for thin-gauge sheet stock where thread engagement depth is critical.

This fastener is commonly used by HVAC technicians assembling or sealing sheet metal duct sections, electricians securing junction box covers and panel components, and general sheet metal fabricators working with light-gauge steel or aluminum. The No. 10 thread size and 0.75 inch under-head length fit a wide range of standard sheet metal thicknesses encountered in residential and light commercial applications. The slotted drive style makes it accessible with basic hand tools in tight or confined installation spaces.

Key Features

• Truss head provides a wide, low-profile bearing surface for secure pull-through resistance on thin sheet metal
• No. 10 thread size suits standard light-gauge sheet metal applications in HVAC, electrical, and fabrication work
• 0.75 inch length measured under the head for precise fit in shallow-depth fastening applications
• 18-8 stainless steel construction delivers corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor environments
• Slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and power driver bits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fastener for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication applications requiring a No. 10 truss head slotted screw.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal fabricators using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit driver. Ensure the workpiece is secured and de-energized before fastening near electrical components. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in harder or thicker gauge stock is recommended to prevent material distortion and ensure proper thread engagement. Avoid over-torquing, which can strip the slotted drive or deform thin sheet metal.
