This screw features a slotted drive and a Type B point for self-tapping entry into light-gauge steel without a pre-tapped hole. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, it measures 1 inch in length under the head. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface and is driven with a standard hex socket or nut driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSheet metal screws of this type are commonly used in HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, and light structural sheet metal work. The hex washer head style is a preferred fastener in commercial and residential mechanical applications where a wrench-driven connection is needed and pull-through resistance matters. Licensed HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians install these fasteners in both new construction and retrofit scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch thread size suits standard light-gauge sheet metal applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType B self-tapping point eliminates the need for a pre-tapped hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlotted drive compatible with flat-blade screwdrivers and standard nut drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex washer head delivers wide bearing surface and high pull-through resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for general-purpose corrosion protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-inch length under head suits moderate-thickness sheet metal stacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-metal fabrication applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by HVAC sheet metal workers, electricians, or mechanical contractors using a hex nut driver or socket wrench sized to the hex washer head. Ensure the workpiece is securely supported before driving to prevent distortion of thin metal. Do not overdrive — excessive torque can strip the self-tapped thread in light-gauge material. Follow applicable mechanical and building codes for fastener spacing and pull-out requirements in ductwork and enclosure assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Washer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Slotted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SMHWHI0370100B0SL-100BX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692939116850,"sku":"SMHWHI0370100B0SL-100BX","price":1287.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/69c1d0afc73d63c0a8ced855f5ad4a2e.jpg?v=1788305205","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-smhwhi0370100b0sl-100bx-sheet-metal-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
