Value Collection R63648489 Pan Head Sheet Metal Screw 10

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63648489 is a number 10 pan head slotted sheet metal screw made from 18-8 stainless steel. With a 0.75-inch length under head, this fastener is designed for threading directly into sheet metal and light-gauge materials without a pre-tapped hole. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and outdoor applications where moisture exposure is a concern. The pan head profile offers a low-profile, wide-bearing surface, and the slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. This screw is a common fastener used by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, electricians, and plumbers when assembling ductwork, enclosures, panels, and light-gauge metal components.

This fastener is well-suited for residential and light commercial applications involving thin-gauge sheet metal assemblies. Typical uses include securing HVAC duct sections, electrical enclosure panels, junction box covers, and similar metal-to-metal connections where a corrosion-resistant fastener is required. The slotted drive makes it compatible with basic hand tools available in most trade service kits. These screws are sold in quantities consistent with production and service work where volume fastener use is expected.

Key Features

• Number 10 thread size for reliable engagement in standard sheet metal gauges
• 0.75-inch length under head for adequate thread penetration in light-gauge assemblies
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in moisture-exposed environments
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface and low-profile finish
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard US trade specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for number 10 sheet metal screw applications in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light-gauge metal panel assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, electricians, or plumbers using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit driver. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and shut down HVAC systems before accessing panels or ductwork that require fastener service. Pilot holes may be required in heavier gauges to prevent material deformation and ensure proper thread engagement. Follow applicable NEC or IFGC guidelines when fastening components within regulated assemblies.
