Value Collection SMHWI-1001000SL-100BX Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWI-1001000SL-100BX is a No. 10 sheet metal screw with a hex washer head and slotted drive, sold in a box of 100. It measures 1 inch in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish. The hex washer head provides a built-in bearing surface that distributes clamping load and resists pull-through. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and hex-socket nut drivers. This fastener is a standard consumable used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and sheet metal workers during equipment installation, ductwork assembly, and panel fabrication.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal applications including HVAC duct connections, electrical enclosure assembly, equipment panels, and general trade fabrication work. The Type A and Type AB point configuration allows it to self-start in pre-punched or drilled holes in thin sheet metal without requiring a separate pilot tap. It is sized and threaded for standard No. 10 sheet metal applications in both residential and light commercial settings.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size for standard sheet metal gauge applications
• 1 inch length under head for consistent fastening depth in light-gauge material
• Hex washer head distributes load and resists pull-through
• Slotted drive accepts flat-blade screwdrivers and nut drivers
• Type A and Type AB point self-starts in pre-punched or drilled holes
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 hex washer head sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal panels, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar trade applications where a slotted hex washer drive fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a flat-blade screwdriver or a 5/16-inch hex nut driver. De-energize all electrical circuits and shut off any associated equipment before fastening panels or enclosures. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the sheet metal threads or distort the panel surface. Follow applicable codes including NEC requirements for electrical enclosure fastening where relevant.
