Value Collection SMHWHI-140075B0SL-100BX Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWHI-140075B0SL-100BX is a 1/4 inch hex washer head sheet metal screw with a slotted drive and Type B point, sold in a box of 100. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, these screws are designed for secure fastening into sheet metal, light gauge steel, and similar substrates. The 3/4 inch length is measured under the head. The hex washer head provides a bearing surface that distributes load and resists pull-through, while the slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bit drivers. These are a practical general-purpose fastener stocked by HVAC, sheet metal, and mechanical contractors.

These screws are suited for light commercial and residential applications involving sheet metal fabrication, ductwork assembly, electrical enclosures, and equipment panels. The Type B point features a tapered tip that self-starts in pre-punched or pre-drilled sheet metal without requiring a pilot hole in most applications. The zinc finish provides baseline corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor and dry-service environments. They are commonly used by HVAC installers, sheet metal mechanics, and general mechanical contractors working with thin-gauge ferrous substrates.

Key Features

• Hex washer head distributes clamping load and reduces pull-through in thin sheet metal
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted bit tips
• Type B point self-starts in pre-punched or pre-drilled sheet metal
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments
• Box quantity of 100 supports job-site and shop stocking needs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose sheet metal fastener suitable for use with light-gauge steel panels, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and equipment housings where 1/4 inch hex washer head slotted screws are specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal mechanics, and general mechanical contractors. Ensure the substrate gauge and pre-punched hole diameter are appropriate for a 1/4 inch Type B screw before driving. Use a calibrated torque screwdriver or driver with clutch control to avoid stripping the slotted drive or over-driving into thin sheet metal. In corrosive or outdoor environments, a higher-grade finish should be evaluated before substituting these zinc-plated fasteners.
