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

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWI-1000500US-100BX is a No. 10 hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal components in HVAC, electrical enclosure, and light fabrication work. The screw features a hex drive for use with a nut driver or hex bit, a built-in washer head that distributes clamping load across the workpiece surface, and a Type A point for self-starting entry into pre-punched or drilled sheet metal. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, it provides corrosion resistance suitable for interior and light-duty exterior applications. Length under head is 0.5 inches.

This screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC installations for securing sheet metal ductwork panels, access doors, junction box covers, and equipment enclosures. It is a standard fastener stocked by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians for field assembly and service work. The hex washer head style allows fast installation with a power driver and provides a secure, low-profile connection on thin-gauge steel panels.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size for secure bite in light-gauge sheet metal
• Hex washer head distributes load and resists pull-through
• Hex drive accepts standard nut drivers and hex bits
• Type A point self-starts in pre-punched holes without a pilot drill
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance
• Sold in a box of 100 for field and shop stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement and general-use sheet metal fastener for light-gauge steel panels and enclosures typical in HVAC, electrical, and sheet metal fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a nut driver or hex-bit power driver sized to the hex head. De-energize all electrical equipment before fastening covers or panels on live enclosures. Avoid overtorquing, which can strip threads in thin-gauge sheet metal or crack coatings. Follow applicable codes such as the NEC for electrical enclosure fastening requirements.
