Value Collection SMHWHI0370075B0SL-100BX Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWHI0370075B0SL-100BX is a 3/8-inch hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in light-gauge metal applications. This slotted-drive fastener features a Type B point for easy self-starting in pre-punched or pre-drilled sheet metal. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, it provides corrosion resistance suitable for general mechanical and HVAC sheet metal work. At 0.75 inches in length under head, it is sized for thin-material panel and housing assembly. Installers in HVAC, electrical, and general trade work routinely stock this screw type for ductwork, junction boxes, and equipment housings.

This sheet metal screw is used in residential and light commercial trade applications where sheet metal panels, covers, and enclosures require reliable fastening. Common install scenarios include HVAC duct and cabinet assembly, electrical panel knockouts, and equipment housing attachment. The hex washer head provides bearing surface and torque resistance suited for power-driver installation. The slotted drive allows manual installation or use with a flat-blade driver when a hex driver is unavailable.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade professionals using a hex driver or flat-blade screwdriver. Always ensure the receiving material is pre-punched or pre-drilled to the appropriate pilot size for Type B point screws. Avoid over-driving, which can strip threads in thin-gauge material or distort the workpiece. Power-down or de-energize any electrical enclosure before fastening covers or panels.
