Value Collection SMHWHI-140150B0SL-100BX Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWHI-140150B0SL-100BX is a 1/4-inch hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for fast, secure fastening in light-gauge metal applications. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this screw measures 1.5 inches in length under the head. The slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade tools, and the Type B point self-taps into pre-drilled or punched sheet metal without requiring a separate nut. Sold in a box of 100, this fastener is a practical stock item for HVAC panels, electrical enclosures, ductwork, and general sheet metal assembly work.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial trade applications where a reliable, standardized sheet metal fastener is needed. HVAC technicians commonly use hex washer head screws to secure duct sections, access panels, equipment covers, and junction boxes. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface that resists pull-through in thin-gauge metal, and the zinc plating offers adequate corrosion protection in typical indoor mechanical environments. The slotted drive is compatible with both manual and power screwdrivers equipped with a flat-blade bit.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a flat-blade screwdriver or power driver with the appropriate bit. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and equipment before fastening access panels or covers. Ensure the substrate is pre-drilled or punched to the correct pilot hole size for 1/4-inch Type B screws to prevent stripping or splitting thin-gauge material. Follow applicable local mechanical and electrical codes when securing code-governed assemblies.
