Value Collection SMHWI-1002000SL-100BX No. 10 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWI-1002000SL-100BX is a No. 10 sheet metal screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in light-gauge metal applications. It features a hex washer head with a slotted drive, allowing installation with either a flat-blade screwdriver or a hex-head driver. The Type AB point provides a self-tapping action that cuts its own thread path on first drive, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole in most thin-metal work. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, this screw resists corrosion in typical indoor and light-exposure environments. Length under head measures 2 inches. Supplied in a box of 100.

Sheet metal screws of this type are standard fasteners in HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, light structural paneling, and equipment cabinet work. The hex washer head seats flush against the workpiece and distributes clamping load over a wide bearing surface, making it well suited for securing sheet metal flanges, junction box covers, access panels, and similar thin-gauge assemblies. Licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal mechanics routinely carry this screw size as a general-purpose fastener for field and shop work.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size with 2-inch length under head for secure engagement in thin-gauge metal
• Hex washer head provides wide bearing surface and positive seating
• Slotted drive accepts flat-blade screwdrivers and standard hex-head power drivers
• Type AB self-tapping point eliminates need for pre-tapped holes in most light-gauge applications
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance in standard service environments
• Box of 100 supports job-site and shop inventory needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 Type AB sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge steel, aluminum, and similar thin-metal assemblies common in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal work.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are installed by licensed sheet metal mechanics, HVAC technicians, and electricians following applicable codes including SMACNA duct construction standards and the NEC for electrical enclosures. Use a properly sized hex-head driver or flat-blade bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. Do not overdrive — the hex washer head should seat firmly against the workpiece without deforming the base material. Wear appropriate hand protection when working with cut sheet metal edges.
