Value Collection SMPOI-1000500-050B Sheet Metal Screw No. 10

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPOI-1000500-050B is a No. 10 oval head sheet metal screw with a Phillips drive, designed for light-gauge metal fastening applications. Made from Grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this screw measures 0.5 inches in overall length. The Type AB point allows for self-starting in pre-punched or drilled holes in sheet metal, making installation straightforward for HVAC technicians, electricians, and general sheet metal workers. The No. 2 Phillips drive size is standard across most hand and power drivers. This package contains a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.

This screw is used in residential and commercial applications where thin sheet metal panels, ductwork, enclosures, junction boxes, or equipment housings need to be joined or secured. The oval head provides a low-profile, finished appearance with a slightly domed top, making it suitable where the fastener head is visible. HVAC installers commonly use this size for duct work panels, access doors, and equipment cabinets. Electricians and sheet metal workers also reach for No. 10 sheet metal screws in conduit enclosures and control panel assemblies.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 oval head sheet metal screw suitable for use in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies, HVAC ductwork panels, electrical enclosures, and similar applications where a Type AB point and Phillips drive are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a No. 2 Phillips hand driver or power screwdriver. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and power down equipment before fastening panels or covers. Pre-punch or pre-drill the appropriate hole size in the sheet metal substrate to match the Type AB point requirement and avoid material distortion. Do not overtighten, as sheet metal screws can strip thin-gauge material if driven beyond seating torque.
