Value Collection SMHWI-1001750SL-100BX No. 10 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWI-1001750SL-100BX is a No. 10 hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar thin materials in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. It features a slotted drive and a Type AB point for self-starting penetration without a pilot hole in most applications. The screw measures 1-3/4 inches under the head, is manufactured from Grade 2 steel, and carries a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. This box contains 100 screws, making it a practical bulk quantity for ongoing service work or installation jobs.

Sheet metal screws of this type are used across residential and light commercial HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure mounting, roofing trim, and general metal fabrication. The hex washer head style provides a broad bearing surface and allows drive with a standard nut driver or hex bit, which is common in duct and panel work. The slotted drive is compatible with flat-blade drivers when a nut driver is not available on the job. The Type AB thread form cuts cleanly into sheet metal without pre-tapping.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size with Type AB point for self-starting in sheet metal and light-gauge materials
• 1-3/4 inch length under head suits moderate-depth fastening applications
• Hex washer head provides a wide bearing surface and easy nut driver engagement
• Slotted drive accepts flat-blade screwdrivers as a secondary drive option
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for standard indoor corrosion protection
• Sold in a box of 100 for convenient bulk use on duct, panel, and sheet metal work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose sheet metal fastener suitable for use in standard HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosures, and light-gauge metal fabrication where a No. 10 hex washer head slotted screw with a 1-3/4 inch length under head is specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade mechanics using a nut driver, hex bit driver, or flat-blade screwdriver. Ensure the base material is properly supported before driving to prevent deformation of thin-gauge panels or ductwork. Do not overdrive — the hex washer head should seat flush against the material surface without stripping the thread. Follow applicable mechanical and building codes for fastener spacing and pull-out requirements in your jurisdiction.
