Value Collection SMPFI-140175-100BX Sheet Metal Screw 100

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPFI-140175-100BX is a No. 14 flat head Phillips drive sheet metal screw engineered for fastening thin sheet metal, light-gauge steel components, and similar materials in trade and industrial applications. Made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw measures 1-3/4 inches in overall length. The flat head profile sits flush with or slightly below the surface of the workpiece, making it a clean choice where a low-profile finish is required. Sold in a box of 100, this SKU is suited for volume fastening work on HVAC panels, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar sheet metal assemblies.

This screw is compatible with Type A and Type AB point configurations, allowing it to self-tap into pre-drilled or punched holes in light-gauge sheet metal. Typical applications include HVAC duct assembly and access panel installation, electrical box and enclosure fabrication, and general sheet metal work in residential and commercial construction. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits and is a common drive type across trade work. The 100-piece box quantity suits job-lot purchasing for contractors and shop fabrication environments.

Key Features

• 1-3/4 inch overall length for moderate-depth penetration without back-out
• Flat head profile sits flush at the workpiece surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 bits and impact drivers
• Type A and Type AB point for self-tapping into pre-drilled sheet metal
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance in dry interior environments
• Grade 2 steel construction for general-purpose fastening duty

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for light-gauge sheet metal panels, ductwork, and enclosures in HVAC, electrical, and sheet metal fabrication applications where a No. 14 flat head Phillips sheet metal screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or a power driver with appropriate bit. Always pre-drill or punch the correct pilot hole diameter for the No. 14 thread before driving to avoid stripping or deforming thin-gauge material. Power down and de-energize any electrical enclosures or HVAC equipment before accessing panels for fastener installation or replacement. Do not over-torque — sheet metal threads are shallow and can strip easily if driven past seating.
