Value Collection SMPPI-1000500-100BX Sheet Metal Screw No. 10

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPPI-1000500-100BX is a No. 10 pan head sheet metal screw with a Phillips drive and Type AB point, sold in a box of 100. It measures 0.5 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish. The Type AB point self-starts in pre-punched or drilled holes in light-gauge sheet metal, thin-wall tubing, and similar materials. This fastener is used by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general mechanical tradespeople for securing duct panels, equipment covers, junction boxes, and sheet metal assemblies.

This screw is suited for light- to medium-duty sheet metal applications in residential and commercial settings. Common uses include fastening HVAC ductwork sections, attaching equipment access panels, securing electrical enclosures, and assembling sheet metal components. The pan head profile sits flush-proud against the work surface and provides good clamping area without the added height of a hex head. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power drivers and hand screwdrivers, making it practical for high-volume field installations.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 Type AB pan head sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, equipment enclosures, and similar thin-material fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a Phillips bit in a power driver or hand screwdriver. Always de-energize any electrical enclosure or HVAC unit before fastening panels or covers. Ensure the mating material is pre-punched or drilled to the correct pilot size for Type AB point engagement. Over-driving can strip the thread engagement in thin-gauge material, so use a clutch-controlled driver when available.
