Value Collection SMHWI-1000500SL-100BX Sheet Metal Screw No. 10

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWI-1000500SL-100BX is a No. 10 sheet metal screw with a hex washer head and slotted drive, sold in a box of 100. The screw measures 0.5 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish. Type A and Type AB point geometry allows the fastener to self-pierce light-gauge sheet metal and similar thin materials without a pilot hole. This fastener is a staple in HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, and general sheet metal work performed by trade professionals in both field and shop environments.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal applications where a hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface and resistance to pull-through. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted hex-head bits. Typical install scenarios include securing HVAC duct sections, attaching sheet metal flanges, fastening electrical panels, and similar thin-material joining tasks. The zinc finish provides baseline corrosion resistance for interior and sheltered exterior applications.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size for reliable grip in light-gauge sheet metal
• Hex washer head provides a wide bearing surface and reduces pull-through
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade bits and screwdrivers
• Type A and Type AB point for self-piercing into thin metal without a pilot hole
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance
• Box of 100 units sized for production or repeat-service work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge steel ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general thin-metal fabrication and repair applications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general sheet metal workers using a flat-blade bit or manual screwdriver. Ensure the mating material is within the appropriate gauge range for the Type A or Type AB point to engage cleanly without stripping. When used in electrical enclosures, verify that installation meets applicable NEC requirements for the assembly. Do not overtighten, as hex washer heads can distort thin-gauge material.
