Value Collection SMPCI0-600500-100BX Sheet Metal Screw No. 6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPCI0-600500-100BX is a No. 6 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar thin-material assemblies. It features a Type AB point for reliable thread engagement on pre-punched or self-pierced holes and a slotted Phillips drive that accepts both a standard flat-blade driver and a Phillips driver. Finished in zinc for basic corrosion resistance, this screw is made from Grade 2 steel and has a 0.5-inch length measured under the head. It is packaged in a box of 100 units, making it practical for service vans and job-site stock.

This fastener is used in HVAC equipment assembly, ductwork fabrication, electrical enclosure mounting, and general sheet metal fabrication. The pan head profile sits flat against the material surface and distributes clamping load across a wide bearing area, which makes it well-suited for thin panels and covers. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal workers commonly use this screw when securing junction box covers, access panels, equipment housings, and duct connections. The Type AB point type is appropriate for material gauges typically encountered in light commercial and residential trade work.

Key Features

• Type AB point for easy thread engagement in pre-punched sheet metal
• Slotted Phillips dual-drive design accepts flat-blade or Phillips drivers
• Pan head profile provides wide bearing surface on thin panels
• Zinc finish offers basic corrosion protection in dry indoor environments
• Grade 2 steel construction for standard-duty sheet metal fastening
• Boxed in quantities of 100 for convenient job-site use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for use in residential and light commercial HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication applications where a 0.5-inch pan head fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires only a Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver or the appropriate bit in a power driver set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the pan head. Always de-energize electrical equipment and shut off HVAC systems before removing or replacing fasteners on live panels or access covers. Pre-punch or pilot holes are recommended for clean thread engagement, particularly on heavier gauge material. Follow applicable NEC or IFGC guidelines when fastening components within electrical or gas appliance enclosures.
