Value Collection SMPFI-1400750-050B Sheet Metal Screw 1/4

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPFI-1400750-050B is a 1/4-inch flat head Phillips sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal, thin-gauge steel panels, and light fabrication assemblies. Made from steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this screw features a countersunk flat head that sits flush with the work surface upon installation. The Phillips drive accepts standard No. 2 bits for quick installation with a power driver or hand screwdriver. At 3/4 inch under-head length, this fastener suits shallow-material applications where a full-profile screw would bottom out or protrude. Sold in a minimum quantity of 50 per order, making it practical for service techs and fabricators stocking field supplies.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC equipment assembly, ductwork panel fastening, electrical enclosures, sheet metal fabrication, and general trade service work. The flat head profile is appropriate where a flush surface finish is required and the substrate will accept a countersunk seat. It works with standard sheet metal gauges found in residential and light commercial applications. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general sheet metal workers routinely use fasteners of this type during equipment installation, enclosure assembly, and panel work.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose sheet metal fastener suitable for use in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and light sheet metal fabrication assemblies where a 1/4-inch flat head Phillips screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a No. 2 Phillips bit with a power driver or manual screwdriver. Ensure the mating material is properly supported and that a pilot hole is used where required to prevent panel distortion. De-energize all electrical equipment before fastening panels on live enclosures in accordance with applicable NEC lockout/tagout requirements. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can strip the thread engagement in thin-gauge sheet metal.
