Value Collection SMPCI-1401000-100BX No.14 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPCI-1401000-100BX is a No. 14 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge metal components in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. The screw measures 1 inch in length under the head and features a dual-drive slotted Phillips recess, allowing use with either a flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver or bit. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, it provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty outdoor installations. The Type AB point self-pierces and taps its own thread in sheet metal without a pre-tapped hole, speeding up assembly on ductwork, enclosures, electrical panels, and similar thin-metal fabrications.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians for securing duct sections, access panels, and equipment covers. Electricians use comparable fasteners for junction box lids and conduit supports. The No. 14 thread size and 1-inch length under head make it well suited for single or double layers of light-gauge sheet metal. Sold in a box of 100 pieces, this quantity is practical for service vans and job-site use where consistent fastener stock is required.

Key Features

• No. 14 thread size with Type AB self-tapping point — no pre-drilled thread required in sheet metal

• Slotted Phillips dual-drive recess accepts flat-blade or Phillips drivers
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance
• 1 inch length under head suits single and double layers of light-gauge sheet metal

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 14 Type AB pan head sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge steel ductwork, enclosures, electrical boxes, and similar thin-metal assemblies common in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trade work.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade professionals using a hand screwdriver or a power driver fitted with a Phillips or flat-blade bit. De-energize and lock out all electrical equipment before fastening near live conductors or panels. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the self-tapped thread in light-gauge material or damage the workpiece surface. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA standards for duct assembly and NEC requirements for electrical enclosure fastening.
