Value Collection SMPOTI-1001250-8-050B Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPOTI-1001250-8-050B is a No. 10 oval head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal, light-gauge sheet stock, and similar materials in mechanical and trade applications. It features a Phillips drive (No. 2) and a Type AB point for self-starting entry without a pilot hole in many applications. The screw is manufactured from Grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. Overall length is 1.25 inches. This fastener is sold in a minimum quantity of 50 pieces and is suited for HVAC, electrical enclosure, ductwork, and light fabrication work performed by sheet metal mechanics, HVAC technicians, and electricians.

This screw is a standard inch-system fastener used across residential and commercial HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical panel and enclosure fabrication, and general sheet metal joining. The oval head provides a slightly raised, finished appearance at the fastener seat, making it a common choice where both holding strength and a clean surface profile matter. The Type AB point type is appropriate for use in light-gauge ferrous and non-ferrous sheet metal as well as some plastics and resin materials in panel and enclosure work.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size, inch-system measurement
• Oval head with No. 2 Phillips drive for standard screwdriver or bit compatibility
• Type AB self-tapping point for use in light-gauge sheet metal without pre-tapping
• Grade 1016/1024 steel construction with zinc finish for general-duty corrosion protection
• 1.25-inch overall length suitable for typical sheet metal lap and panel applications
• Meets AISI 1016, ANSI/ASME B18.6.4, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J933 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 oval head Type AB sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge ferrous sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-material fastening applications where inch-system fasteners are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal mechanics, HVAC technicians, and electricians using a No. 2 Phillips bit or hand screwdriver. Power down and de-energize any electrical enclosure or panel before driving fasteners into or near live equipment. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the sheet metal or damage the fastener head. When used in ductwork or enclosures subject to NEC or SMACNA guidelines, verify fastener spacing and material gauge requirements per the applicable standard.
