Value Collection SMPFI-1003000-100BX No.10 Flat Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPFI-1003000-100BX is a No. 10 flat head Phillips drive sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, ductwork, and similar sheet metal assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw features a Type AB point for easy thread engagement in pre-punched or pre-drilled holes. The overall length is 3 inches. Sold in a box of 100, this fastener is a standard consumable stocked by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, electricians, and general contractors for everyday metal fabrication and installation tasks.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a flush, low-profile fastener is required. The flat head countersinks into the workpiece for a clean surface finish, making it a common choice for ductwork assembly, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, metal framing, and HVAC cabinet work. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard Phillips bits used on cordless drills and screw guns. The Type AB thread form provides aggressive thread engagement in thin-gauge steel and similar materials.

Key Features

• 3-inch overall length for deeper fastening applications
• Flat head profile countersinks flush with the workpiece surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard Phillips bits and screw guns
• Type AB point for self-starting thread engagement in pre-drilled holes
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion protection in dry indoor environments
• Grade 2 steel construction for standard-duty fastening loads

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 flat head Phillips drive Type AB sheet metal screw for use in thin-gauge steel panels, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar sheet metal fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal mechanics, and electricians using a cordless drill or screw gun with a Phillips bit. Pre-drill or pre-punch the workpiece to the appropriate pilot hole diameter before driving to avoid material distortion. Do not overtorque, as stripping the threads in thin-gauge material is a common failure. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA standards for ductwork fastener spacing when used in duct assembly.
