Value Collection SHHI-1400620US-050B Sheet Metal Screw 1/4

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SHHI-1400620US-050B is a 1/4-inch hex head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal materials in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication applications. It features a hex drive with a Type AB point for self-starting entry into pre-punched or drilled holes in light-gauge steel and similar materials. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw measures 5/8 inches in length under the head. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 per package, this fastener suits tradespeople who need reliable, consistent hardware in volume.

This screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC duct assembly, electrical enclosure work, and general sheet metal joining tasks. The hex head allows installation with a nut driver or hex-bit driver, making it a practical choice for field technicians working in tight spaces or on production-style installations. The Type AB point thread form is suitable for use in thin metal sheets and pre-formed pilot holes.

Key Features

• 1/4-inch thread size with 5/8-inch length under head for secure thin-metal fastening
• Hex head and hex drive for use with standard nut drivers or hex-bit tools
• Type AB point for self-starting entry into pre-punched or drilled pilot holes
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for light-gauge sheet metal applications
• Zinc finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered installations
• Sold in packs of 50, suited for volume field or shop use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-inch hex head sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel panels, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-metal assemblies where a Type AB point fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a hex-bit driver or nut driver sized to the 1/4-inch hex head. Always pre-punch or drill a pilot hole to the correct diameter for Type AB thread engagement in the base material. Avoid over-torquing, which can strip the threads in thin-gauge material or deform the workpiece. Follow applicable codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing in duct and enclosure assemblies.
