Value Collection SMHWI0-601500SL-100BX No. 6 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWI0-601500SL-100BX is a No. 6 sheet metal screw designed for fast, secure fastening in light-gauge metal applications. The hex washer head provides a built-in bearing surface that distributes clamping load and resists pull-through, while the slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bits. At 1-1/2 inches measured under the head, this screw offers solid thread engagement in typical sheet metal thicknesses. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, it delivers corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light-duty service environments. Sold in a box of 100.

This screw is used across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general mechanical trades wherever sheet metal panels, ductwork flanges, junction boxes, or equipment enclosures need to be fastened together or secured to a metal substrate. The Type AB point self-starts in pre-drilled or punched holes in light-gauge steel, reducing the need for tapping. Common install scenarios include duct assembly, electrical panel work, and equipment cabinet fabrication. Tradespeople and sheet metal workers are the primary installers.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 hex washer head sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel panels, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar sheet metal assemblies requiring a Type AB point fastener.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are installed by qualified tradespeople including HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers following applicable codes. Ensure the receiving material is properly supported and that hole size matches the No. 6 thread specification to avoid stripping. Use a calibrated torque-limiting driver or exercise care with power tools to prevent over-driving, which can damage the hex washer head or strip threads in thin-gauge material. De-energize any electrical equipment and isolate ductwork systems before performing fastening work in live service areas.
