Value Collection SMHWI-1401250SL-100BX Sheet Metal Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWI-1401250SL-100BX is a No. 14 hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge metal panels, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-metal assemblies. The slotted drive accommodates a standard flat-blade screwdriver or bit, and the Type AB point self-pierces sheet metal without a pre-drilled pilot hole on most gauges. Finished in zinc for basic corrosion resistance, this screw is manufactured from Grade 2 steel and measures 1-1/4 inches in length under the head. Sold in a box of 100.

This fastener is well suited for HVAC ductwork fabrication and assembly, sheet metal enclosure work, electrical panel trim, and general light-gauge metal fastening in residential and commercial applications. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface that resists pull-through on thinner material, making it a common choice for field installers and shop fabricators who need a reliable, reusable drive interface with standard hex-tip drivers or a nut driver.

Key Features

• No. 14 thread size for solid engagement in light-gauge sheet metal
• Type AB point self-pierces without a pilot hole on compatible gauges
• Hex washer head provides wide bearing surface and resists pull-through
• Slotted drive works with flat-blade bits and standard nut drivers
• Zinc finish offers basic corrosion protection in dry indoor environments
• Grade 2 steel construction — pack of 100 for job-site or shop stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Type AB sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge steel ductwork, electrical enclosures, metal panels, and similar thin-metal fastening applications where a No. 14 hex washer head slotted fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC fabricators, sheet metal workers, or electricians using a flat-blade bit or hex nut driver. Verify material gauge compatibility with the Type AB point before driving without a pilot hole — very heavy gauges may require pre-drilling. Avoid over-torquing, which can strip the thread engagement in thin stock. Follow applicable mechanical and building codes for fastener spacing and quantity in ductwork or enclosure assemblies.
