Value Collection SMHWI-1002500SL-100BX No. 10 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWI-1002500SL-100BX is a No. 10 hex washer head sheet metal screw with a slotted drive, measuring 2.5 inches in length under the head. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, it delivers corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and light-duty outdoor fastening applications. The Type AB point style allows for self-starting penetration into sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar substrates without pre-drilling in many applications. These screws are sold in a box of 100 and are a standard fastener stocked by HVAC, sheet metal, electrical, and general trade contractors.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosures, metal framing, and sheet metal fabrication. The hex washer head provides a built-in bearing surface that distributes clamping load and resists pull-through, making it well suited for joining thin metal panels and duct sections. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver or bit, and the hex head can be driven with a nut driver or hex bit for faster installation with power tools. The zinc finish offers basic protection against oxidation in typical indoor mechanical and electrical environments.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size with Type AB self-starting point for clean entry into sheet metal
• 2.5-inch length under head for fastening through stacked or thicker sheet material
• Hex washer head with integrated bearing surface reduces pull-through risk
• Slotted drive compatible with flat-blade screwdrivers and standard nut drivers
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance
• Box of 100 units — standard jobsite quantity for trade use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 Type AB sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general metal fabrication applications where a hex washer slotted fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians as part of ductwork and enclosure assembly. Power down all electrical systems and depressurize any duct system before fastening into live assemblies. A nut driver, hex bit, or flat-blade bit in a power drill or impact driver is recommended for consistent drive depth. Avoid overdriving, which can strip the thread engagement or deform the base material.
