Value Collection SMHWI-1001250SL-100BX No. 10 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWI-1001250SL-100BX is a No. 10 sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin-gauge metal panels, ductwork, housings, and related assemblies. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface and allows drive engagement with a standard nut driver or socket, while the slotted drive adds flexibility for flathead screwdriver access in tight spaces. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, these screws measure 1-1/4 inches in length under the head. Sold in a box of 100, they suit volume fastening tasks in HVAC ductwork fabrication, electrical enclosure assembly, and light sheet metal work.

These screws are a standard choice for HVAC installers, sheet metal fabricators, and electricians working with light-gauge metal components. Common applications include securing duct sections, attaching access panels, fastening electrical junction box covers, and assembling metal equipment cabinets. The hex washer head design is particularly practical for production or service work where a nut driver is the primary tool, allowing consistent torque without cam-out. The zinc plating provides adequate protection for indoor or sheltered installations.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 hex washer head sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel panels, ductwork sections, electrical enclosures, and similar metal assemblies where an inch-series thread is specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a nut driver, hex socket, or slotted screwdriver sized for the No. 10 hex washer head. Ensure the workpiece is properly supported and clamped before driving to prevent metal deformation. Do not overdrive — excessive torque will strip the sheet metal or shear the fastener. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA standards for duct assembly or NEC requirements for electrical enclosure fastening.
