Value Collection SMPCI0-600370-050B No.6 Sheet Metal Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPCI0-600370-050B is a No. 6 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, ductwork, and light-gauge sheet metal assemblies. The screw features a Type AB point for fast thread engagement and a slotted Phillips drive that accepts both a flat-blade and a No. 2 Phillips driver. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this fastener measures 3/8 inches in length under head. It is sold in a minimum quantity of 50 pieces per order. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers reach for this size routinely during panel, housing, and duct fabrication work.

This No. 6 by 3/8-inch pan head screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal applications in residential and commercial settings. Common uses include securing HVAC cabinet panels, electrical enclosure covers, junction box knockouts, and similar thin-metal assemblies where a low-profile pan head is preferred over a hex washer or bugle head. The Type AB point self-starts in pre-punched or pre-drilled holes without a pilot tap. This screw conforms to ASME B18.6.3, making it a standard-compliant fastener for general trade use.

Key Features

• Type AB point self-starts in pre-punched holes without a tap
• Slotted Phillips combo drive accepts No. 2 Phillips or flat-blade driver
• Pan head profile sits low and distributes clamping load across thin sheet metal
• Zinc finish provides baseline corrosion resistance for indoor metal assemblies
• Grade 2 steel construction meets ASME B18.6.3 dimensional standards
• Sold in packs of 50 to support job-site and service-van stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 by 3/8-inch Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment cabinets, and similar thin-metal fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Install with a No. 2 Phillips bit or a flat-blade screwdriver of matching width. De-energize electrical equipment and shut down HVAC systems before removing or reinstalling panel fasteners. Avoid over-driving — the Type AB thread can strip thin-gauge metal if torque is not controlled. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when re-securing electrical enclosure covers or HVAC unit panels.
