Value Collection SMPPI-1001500-100BX Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPPI-1001500-100BX is a No. 10 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge sheet metal, ductwork, and related metal components. Driven with a Phillips bit, this screw features a 1.5-inch length under head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance. The Type A and Type AB point options allow for use in both pre-punched and drilled applications. This box contains 100 screws, making it a practical quantity for ongoing service work or installation projects. HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and plumbers routinely use fasteners of this type when securing duct panels, equipment covers, and sheet metal assemblies.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where No. 10 sheet metal fasteners are required. Common uses include securing HVAC duct sections, attaching sheet metal panels to framing, and fastening electrical enclosure covers or junction box knockouts. The pan head profile sits flush against the work surface and distributes clamping load across a wider area than a flat head, reducing the risk of pull-through in thinner gauges. The zinc plating provides baseline protection against moisture and mild corrosive environments typical of mechanical room and attic installations.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size for reliable bite in light-gauge sheet metal
• 1.5-inch length under head suits a range of material thicknesses
• Pan head profile distributes load and resists pull-through
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power drivers and hand tools
• Type A and Type AB point for use in pre-punched or drilled holes
• Zinc finish provides corrosion resistance in typical mechanical environments
• Grade 2 steel construction for standard-duty fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 pan head Phillips sheet metal screw suitable for use wherever this fastener size and drive type are specified in duct, panel, and enclosure assembly work.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal workers using a Phillips-tip power driver or hand screwdriver. De-energize any electrical components and shut down HVAC equipment before fastening near live circuits or moving parts. Pre-punch or pre-drill pilot holes in harder gauges to prevent sheet metal distortion and ensure proper thread engagement. Do not overdrive — stop when the head seats flush to avoid stripping the sheet metal.
