Value Collection SMHWI-1401500SL-100BX Sheet Metal Screw 14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWI-1401500SL-100BX is a No. 14 hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for fast, secure fastening in light-gauge metal applications. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver or bit, and the Type AB point self-taps into pre-punched or drilled sheet metal without a separate tapping step. Each screw measures 1.5 inches under the head and is made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish to resist corrosion in typical indoor and light-duty outdoor environments. This box contains 100 pieces, sized for HVAC, ductwork, electrical enclosure, and general sheet metal fabrication tasks.

These screws are a standard choice for HVAC installers assembling duct sections, securing access panels, and fastening sheet metal components in residential and light commercial systems. Electricians use them for securing enclosure covers and metal junction boxes. The hex washer head provides a wide bearing surface that resists pull-through in thin-gauge material, and the built-in washer eliminates the need for a separate flat washer in most applications.

Key Features

• No. 14 thread size for secure bite in light-gauge sheet metal
• 1.5-inch length measured under the head for consistent engagement depth
• Type AB self-tapping point eliminates pre-tapping in most sheet metal gauges
• Hex washer head accepts 1/4-inch hex drive bits or a flat-blade screwdriver
• Zinc finish provides corrosion resistance for typical HVAC and electrical enclosure use
• Grade 2 steel construction suitable for standard sheet metal fastening loads

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation fastener for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies including HVAC duct sections, access panels, electrical enclosures, and general metal fabrication work.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a 1/4-inch hex driver, flat-blade screwdriver, or compatible power tool. Ensure the substrate is properly supported and that the screw is driven perpendicular to the work surface to avoid stripping the self-tapped thread. De-energize any electrical equipment and shut down HVAC systems before fastening panels or enclosure covers. Follow applicable codes including SMACNA duct construction standards and NEC requirements for enclosure work.
