Value Collection R63649644 No. 6 Flat Head Slotted Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63649644 is a No. 6 flat head slotted sheet metal screw manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel. At 1 inch overall length, this fastener is designed to thread directly into sheet metal, thin gauge steel, and similar substrates without a pre-tapped hole. The flat head profile sits flush with the work surface upon full drive, making it suitable for applications where a low-profile finish is required. Grade 18-8 stainless steel provides solid corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general sheet metal workers commonly use fasteners of this type when securing ductwork panels, junction box covers, equipment enclosures, and access panels.

This screw is appropriate for light-gauge sheet metal assembly across residential and commercial trade work. Typical applications include securing HVAC duct sections, attaching sheet metal flanges, fastening electrical enclosure covers, and general utility fastening tasks where a flush-seating, corrosion-resistant fastener is needed. The slotted drive accommodates a standard flat-blade screwdriver, making it accessible with basic hand tools or a slotted power bit. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 units per order, this screw is suited for trade professionals who install or service mechanical and electrical systems on a regular basis.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fastener for No. 6 flat head slotted sheet metal screw applications in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general light-gauge sheet metal assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver or matching slotted power bit. De-energize all electrical circuits and shut off HVAC or mechanical systems before accessing enclosures or panels. Avoid over-driving, as excessive torque can strip the sheet metal thread engagement or deform the screw head. Follow applicable NEC or IFGC guidelines when fastening covers on electrical or gas-related equipment enclosures.
