Value Collection SMPCI0-601000-100BX No. 6 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPCI0-601000-100BX is a No. 6 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, ductwork, and similar light-gauge assemblies. It features a dual-drive slotted Phillips recess, allowing installation with either a flathead or Phillips driver. The Type AB point is self-tapping, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole in most light-gauge steel applications. The screw is zinc-plated Grade 2 steel, providing basic corrosion resistance suitable for interior and protected exterior applications. Each box contains 100 screws. Total package weight is 1 pound.

This fastener is well suited for HVAC duct fabrication and assembly, electrical enclosure work, and general sheet metal joining tasks common in residential and light commercial construction. Electricians and HVAC technicians frequently use No. 6 pan head sheet metal screws to secure junction box covers, duct collars, access panels, and thin-gauge metal trim. The 1-inch length under head provides adequate thread engagement in typical single- or double-layer light-gauge sheet metal without punching through or over-driving.

Key Features

• Type AB self-tapping point eliminates pre-tapping in light-gauge steel
• Dual slotted Phillips drive accommodates either driver type on the job
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface and low-profile sit
• Zinc finish offers basic corrosion resistance for interior use
• Grade 2 steel construction balances strength and cost for high-volume fastening
• Box of 100 supports production and service work without frequent restocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 Type AB pan head sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel panels, ductwork, and enclosures where a 1-inch length under head and zinc finish meet application requirements.

Installation Notes

Install with a Phillips or flathead screwdriver or a bit-equipped power driver set to a controlled clutch to avoid stripping the recess or over-driving into thin stock. Ensure the base material is secured before driving to prevent workpiece movement. For electrical enclosure work, follow NEC guidelines for fastener types and spacing. Avoid use in direct-outdoor or high-moisture environments where elevated corrosion resistance is required.
