Value Collection R63614442 No. 14 Flat Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63614442 is a No. 14 flat head slotted sheet metal screw manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel. With an overall length of 1-1/4 inches, this screw is designed to thread directly into sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar thin-material substrates without a pre-tapped hole. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when fully driven, making it suitable for applications where a low-profile finish is required. Grade 18-8 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and sheet metal fabricators commonly use this fastener type for ductwork, panel assembly, equipment enclosures, and general trade installation work.

This screw is well suited for light commercial and residential trade applications involving sheet metal ductwork, electrical enclosures, plumbing access panels, and equipment housings. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted power-drive bits, making it practical for field use where a wide variety of tools may be on hand. The No. 14 thread size provides a relatively coarse thread pitch appropriate for driving into thin metal stock.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments
• No. 14 thread size with sheet metal thread form for direct drive into thin-gauge metal
• Flat head profile seats flush with the workpiece surface
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers and compatible power-drive bits
• 1-1/4 inch overall length suitable for typical sheet metal and light panel thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed for use as a standard No. 14 flat head slotted sheet metal screw in residential and light commercial trade applications involving sheet metal, thin-gauge steel panels, and similar substrates.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted power-drive bit sized for a No. 14 screw head. De-energize or lock out any electrical, HVAC, or mechanical system before fastening panels or enclosures. Avoid over-torquing, which can strip the thread engagement in thin-gauge sheet metal. When used in outdoor or high-humidity environments, verify that Grade 18-8 stainless steel provides adequate corrosion resistance for the specific exposure conditions.
