Value Collection SMPCI-1200500-050B No.12 Pan Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPCI-1200500-050B is a No. 12 sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge metal assemblies in trade and industrial applications. This screw features a pan head profile with a combination slotted and Phillips drive, giving installers flexibility with either a flathead or cross-tip driver. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, it has a 0.5-inch length measured under the head and uses a Type AB point for self-starting penetration into sheet metal without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The Phillips and Slotted drive size is No. 3.

This fastener is suited for residential and light commercial applications where sheet metal panels, ductwork flanges, electrical enclosures, or thin-gauge brackets require a reliable mechanical connection. The pan head sits low and wide, distributing clamping load across the material surface. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal workers commonly use this screw when assembling or securing metal components on the job site or in the shop. It conforms to ASME B18.6.3 standards for dimensional consistency.

Key Features

• No. 12 thread size with Type AB self-starting point for sheet metal penetration without pre-drilling
• Combination slotted and Phillips drive accepts both flathead and cross-tip drivers
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load and sits flush against material surfaces
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for general corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 dimensional standards for consistent fitment and torque performance
• 0.5-inch length under head suits thin-gauge sheet metal and panel fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 12 Type AB pan head sheet metal screw for use with light-gauge steel panels, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-metal substrates common in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal work.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal workers using a No. 3 Phillips or flathead screwdriver or power driver set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid stripping the drive or over-penetrating thin material. Type AB point screws are self-starting in most light-gauge metals but may require a pilot hole in harder or thicker stock. Always verify that screw length does not protrude into live electrical spaces or obstruct adjacent components after installation.
