Value Collection SMHWI0-600370SL-100BX Sheet Metal Screw No. 6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWI0-600370SL-100BX is a No. 6 sheet metal screw with a hex washer head and slotted drive, sold in a box of 100. It measures 3/8 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish. The Type AB point allows the fastener to self-tap into light-gauge sheet metal, making it a standard consumable for HVAC duct assembly, electrical enclosures, and metal panel fabrication. This screw is installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians in both residential and light commercial applications.

This fastener is suited for securing sheet metal components where a hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface and positive driver engagement with a standard slotted bit or hex driver. Common use cases include HVAC duct connections, equipment access panels, metal junction boxes, and light-gauge steel framing attachment. The inch-system sizing and zinc finish make it appropriate for interior dry-environment applications where corrosion exposure is minimal. Supplied in a box of 100 units to support production assembly and service work.

Key Features

• No. 6 thread size with Type AB self-tapping point for direct drive into light-gauge sheet metal
• 3/8 inch length under head suits thin-material fastening without over-penetration
• Hex washer head provides a large bearing surface and accepts both hex and slotted drivers
• Grade 2 steel construction meets standard mechanical requirements for sheet metal fastening
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for interior applications
• Box of 100 units supports production assembly and field service replenishment

Compatibility

Designed for use in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and metal equipment panels where a No. 6 Type AB sheet metal screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a slotted or hex-bit driver. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure or HVAC equipment before fastening panels or access covers. Pilot holes may be required in harder-gauge material to prevent bit slippage or thread stripping. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA duct construction standards for duct assembly fastener spacing.
