Value Collection R63646681 No. 12 Oval Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63646681 is a No. 12 oval head sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light structural assemblies. Driven with a Phillips bit, it features an overall length of 1.5 inches and is manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel for reliable corrosion resistance in exposed or moisture-prone environments. The oval head profile sits slightly above the surface, providing a finished, low-profile appearance where aesthetics matter. This fastener is well suited for trade professionals who need a durable, reusable-grade screw that holds up in demanding field conditions without rust or staining.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians in both residential and light commercial applications. Typical uses include securing duct access panels, junction box covers, equipment housings, and thin-gauge metal brackets. The Phillips drive type is compatible with standard power drivers and hand screwdrivers, making it practical for fast installation in tight spaces. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it a preferred choice in coastal, humid, or outdoor-adjacent environments where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• No. 12 thread size provides strong thread engagement in sheet metal and thin-gauge materials
• 1.5-inch overall length suits standard panel and housing fastening depths
• Oval head profile offers a clean, finished appearance with low-profile clearance
• Phillips drive compatible with common power drivers and hand tools
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and staining
• Inch measurement system for straightforward sizing on standard trade applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 12 sheet metal screw suitable for use with thin-gauge sheet metal panels, ductwork components, electrical enclosures, and similar light-gauge metal assemblies requiring a Phillips oval head fastener.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws should be installed using a Phillips-tip bit matched to the drive size to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure or HVAC system before accessing panels secured by these screws. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in heavier-gauge material to prevent distortion and ensure proper thread engagement. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can strip the receiving material in thin sheet metal.
