Value Collection SMPCI-1000500-100BX Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPCI-1000500-100BX is a No. 10 pan head sheet metal screw with a combined slotted and Phillips drive, sold in a box of 100. The screw measures 0.5 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance. The Type AB point allows the fastener to self-start into sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar substrates without a pre-drilled pilot hole. These screws are a standard consumable used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and sheet metal workers for securing enclosures, panels, ductwork, and equipment covers.

This fastener is suited for light-duty sheet metal assembly in residential and commercial applications. Common uses include securing HVAC cabinet panels, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, duct flanges, and thin-gauge metal brackets. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface and is well-suited for applications where the fastener must sit flush against a flat metal surface without countersinking. The zinc plating provides adequate corrosion protection for indoor and sheltered installations.

Key Features

• Combined slotted and Phillips drive accepts both driver types in the field
• Type AB point self-starts into sheet metal without a pilot hole
• Grade 2 steel construction for standard-duty fastening applications
• Zinc finish provides corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered use
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a flat bearing surface
• Sold as a box of 100 for high-frequency field and shop use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 sheet metal screw for use with light-gauge steel panels, HVAC equipment enclosures, electrical boxes, and similar sheet metal assemblies where a Type AB point pan head fastener is required.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a No. 2 Phillips bit or a flat-blade driver. De-energize and lock out any electrical or mechanical equipment before accessing panels or enclosures. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the sheet metal thread engagement and reduce holding strength. For outdoor or high-moisture environments, verify that zinc plating provides adequate corrosion resistance for the application.
