Value Collection SMHWI03100750SL-025B Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWI03100750SL-025B is a 5/16 inch hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in light-gauge metal applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, this screw features a slotted drive and a Type AB point for self-starting penetration without pre-drilling in most sheet metal work. The 3/4 inch length is measured under the head, making it well-suited for thin-panel assemblies. Sold in a package quantity of 25, this fastener is a standard choice for HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers who need a reliable, corrosion-resistant screw for ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar metal fabrication tasks.

This screw is commonly used in residential and commercial applications where light-gauge sheet metal panels must be joined or secured. Typical uses include HVAC ductwork assembly, sheet metal enclosure fastening, electrical panel work, and general trade work involving thin steel substrates. The hex washer head provides a wide bearing surface that distributes clamping load and helps prevent pull-through in softer or thinner materials. The slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade screwdrivers as well as many hex-head nut drivers, making it versatile for field conditions.

Key Features

• Type AB point for self-starting penetration in light-gauge sheet metal without pre-drilling
• Hex washer head provides wide bearing surface and resists pull-through
• Slotted drive compatible with flat-blade screwdrivers and standard nut drivers
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance
• 3/4 inch length under head suits thin-panel and ductwork applications
• Sold in a pack of 25 to meet minimum order and job-lot needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16 inch Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel panels, HVAC ductwork, and electrical enclosures where a hex washer head slotted fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a flat-blade screwdriver or a 5/16 inch hex nut driver. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and shut down HVAC systems before fastening or removing panels. Avoid over-torquing, as the threads can strip in thin-gauge material. Verify that the substrate gauge is appropriate for a Type AB point before driving the screw.
