Value Collection SMPFI-1203000-100BX Sheet Metal Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPFI-1203000-100BX is a No. 12 flat head Phillips sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, ductwork, and similar sheet stock. It measures 3 inches in overall length and features a Type AB point for reliable thread engagement on sheet metal and light-gauge steel without requiring a pre-tapped hole. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw is suited for dry and semi-protected indoor applications. It is sold in a box of 100. HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, electricians, and general contractors install this fastener in daily service work and fabrication tasks.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical panel and enclosure mounting, metal stud framing, light-gauge steel fabrication, and similar trade applications where a countersunk flat head profile is required to sit flush with the workpiece surface. The Type AB point self-starts in pre-drilled or punched holes in sheet metal and is appropriate for both field service and shop fabrication environments. The 100-piece pack quantity suits job-site or shop use where consistent fastener inventory is needed.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 12 Type AB flat head Phillips sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel panels, ductwork flanges, metal enclosures, and similar sheet metal fastening applications common in HVAC, electrical, and general trade work.

Installation Notes

Install with a Phillips No. 2 bit in a power driver or manual screwdriver. Pre-drill or punch a pilot hole sized to the thread diameter to prevent sheet distortion and ensure proper thread engagement. Do not overtighten, as over-driving a flat head screw into sheet metal can strip the material or crack thin stock. Wear appropriate hand protection when handling cut sheet metal edges during fastener installation.
