Value Collection SMHWI-1000870SL-100B Sheet Metal Screw 100

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWI-1000870SL-100B is a No. 10 sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal, light-gauge steel, and similar materials in trade and light industrial applications. The hex washer head provides a built-in bearing surface that distributes clamping load and resists pull-through. A slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver or bit. The Type AB point combines a gimlet tip with coarse thread spacing, allowing fast self-starting penetration into sheet metal, light steel framing, ductwork, and similar substrates. Each screw measures 7/8 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance.

These screws are commonly used by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians for duct assembly, electrical enclosure work, light structural attachment, and general metal-to-metal fastening on residential and light commercial jobs. The hex washer head is compatible with both manual and power drive tools, making it suitable for high-volume production work and service calls alike. This listing is sold as a pack of 100 screws, meeting the minimum order quantity for this item.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 Type AB hex washer head sheet metal screw suitable for use in light-gauge steel, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-metal fastening applications where an ASME B18.6.3 or B18.6.4 compliant fastener is required.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are typically driven by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a flat-blade bit in a power driver or manual screwdriver. Avoid over-torquing, which can strip the slotted drive or deform the material being fastened. Ensure the substrate thickness is appropriate for the screw length to maintain proper thread engagement. Follow applicable mechanical and building codes for the specific application.
