Value Collection SMPFI-1003000-050B No.10 Flat Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPFI-1003000-050B is a No. 10 flat head Phillips drive sheet metal screw with a Type AB point, designed for fastening light-gauge sheet metal, metal brackets, and similar thin-material assemblies. At 3 inches overall length, it provides solid thread engagement across stacked or thicker sheet metal configurations. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, this screw resists corrosion in typical indoor mechanical environments. The flat head profile sits flush with the material surface when fully driven, keeping clearances tight and reducing snag points. Sold in packs of 50, this fastener is suited for production installations and service work requiring consistent quantities.

This screw is used in HVAC duct fabrication, electrical enclosure assembly, equipment panel fastening, and general sheet metal work. The Type AB point is self-tapping, allowing direct installation into pre-punched or drilled holes in light-gauge steel without a separate tapping step. Typical applications include securing duct flanges, attaching junction box knockouts, mounting brackets, and fastening sheet metal panels in both residential and light commercial mechanical systems. Licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers are the primary installers.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size for reliable grip in light-gauge sheet metal
• 3 inches overall length for deeper thread engagement in stacked material
• Type AB self-tapping point — installs into pre-punched holes without separate tapping
• Flat head profile seats flush for low-clearance panel and enclosure work
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power and hand drivers
• Zinc finish provides corrosion resistance in typical indoor mechanical environments

Compatibility

Designed for use in light-gauge sheet metal fastening applications common to HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general metal panel assembly where a No. 10 flat head self-tapping screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a Phillips bit driver, either manual or powered, set to appropriate clutch torque to avoid stripping the head or over-driving the flat profile. Always pre-punch or drill a pilot hole sized to the thread diameter recommendation for the gauge of metal being fastened. Power down electrical equipment and depressurize HVAC systems before fastening panels or enclosures. Follow applicable codes including NEC and SMACNA sheet metal standards for fastener spacing and pull-out requirements.
