Value Collection R63648444 No. 6 Pan Head Slotted Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63648444 is a No. 6 pan head slotted sheet metal screw manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel. Measuring 0.5 inches in length under head, this fastener is designed to thread directly into sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar thin materials without requiring a pre-tapped hole. The pan head profile provides a broad bearing surface and low-profile head, while the slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade screwdrivers. Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and moderate outdoor service environments. Trades professionals use this fastener for ductwork, electrical enclosures, equipment panels, and general sheet metal assembly work.

This screw is used across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and light construction trades wherever a corrosion-resistant self-tapping fastener is needed in sheet metal or thin-gauge material. Common applications include securing duct sections, attaching junction box covers, mounting panels, and fastening sheet metal flanges. The 0.5-inch under-head length suits thin-material stackups where thread engagement must be controlled to avoid breakthrough. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 units, this fastener is intended for professional shop stock and service vehicle inventory.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers using a flat-blade screwdriver or matching slotted bit on a powered driver set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the material. Power down or de-energize any panel, enclosure, or equipment before fastening. Pilot holes may be required depending on material gauge and hardness. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines for the assembly being serviced.
