Value Collection R63648448 Sheet Metal Screw 10 Pan Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63648448 is a number 10 pan head slotted sheet metal screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. It is designed to fasten sheet metal, light-gauge metal panels, and related thin-material assemblies in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general trade applications. The 5/8-inch length is measured under the head, making it well-suited for shallow-depth fastening where a compact, corrosion-resistant fastener is required. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides solid resistance to rust and oxidation, which matters in outdoor, coastal, or humid service environments. The slotted pan head drive accepts a standard flathead screwdriver or flathead bit, tools that are standard in any trade toolbox.

This screw is used wherever a number 10 thread size and short 5/8-inch under-head length are specified. Typical applications include securing sheet metal duct covers, junction box knockouts, equipment access panels, and light-gauge metal trim in residential and commercial settings. HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and sheet metal workers regularly use this fastener type during equipment installation, panel assembly, and service work. The pan head profile sits flush enough for clearance-sensitive assemblies while providing a wide bearing surface on thin materials.

Key Features

• Number 10 thread size for standard sheet metal fastening applications
• 5/8-inch length under head for shallow-depth installations
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface on thin-gauge metal
• Slotted drive accepts standard flathead screwdrivers and bits
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in humid and outdoor environments
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard trade specifications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard number 10 pan head slotted sheet metal screw for use in residential and commercial HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general sheet metal assembly work where an 18-8 stainless steel fastener of this thread size and length is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a flathead screwdriver or power driver fitted with a flathead bit. Ensure the base material is properly supported before driving to avoid deformation of thin-gauge sheet metal. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in harder or thicker stock is recommended to prevent material distortion and reduce drive torque. Follow applicable codes such as the NEC or IMC where fastener type and material are specified for the assembly being serviced.
