Value Collection SMPOI-1401000-100B Sheet Metal Screw No. 14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPOI-1401000-100B is a No. 14 sheet metal screw with a flat oval pan head and Phillips drive, sold in a pack of 100. Made from Grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc finish, this fastener is designed for secure attachment into sheet metal, thin-gauge steel panels, and light fabrication work. The Type AB point allows the screw to self-start without pre-drilling in most sheet metal applications. Overall length is 1 inch. The No. 3 Phillips drive size is compatible with standard power bits used in production and service environments. Installers in HVAC, electrical, and sheet metal trades keep this size stocked for panel, duct, and enclosure work.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a low-profile head and reliable thread engagement in thin metal are required. Common uses include securing HVAC duct flanges, electrical panel covers, junction box lids, metal enclosures, and sheet metal brackets. The flat oval pan head sits flush to slightly raised, distributing clamping load across the surface without sharp edges that could damage wiring or insulation. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected-outdoor installations.

Compatibility

Designed for use in sheet metal, thin-gauge steel panels, and light metal fabrication applications typical of HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal trade work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a No. 3 Phillips bit in a manual or power screwdriver. Power down all electrical equipment and de-energize panels before fastening near live components. The Type AB point is designed to self-tap into pre-punched or drilled pilot holes in sheet metal; avoid overtorquing, which can strip the thread form in thin gauges. Follow applicable codes including NEC and SMACNA guidelines for fastener spacing on duct and enclosure assemblies.
