Value Collection SMPPI-1200500-100BX Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPPI-1200500-100BX is a No. 12 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, ductwork, brackets, and light-gauge steel assemblies. Driven with a Phillips bit, it features a Type A and Type AB point for self-starting penetration into pre-punched or drilled pilot holes in sheet metal. The fastener is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in standard indoor environments. Each screw measures 0.5 inches in length under the head. This box contains 100 screws. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers regularly reach for this size and drive style when assembling duct sections, electrical enclosures, and light structural panels.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal applications common in residential and commercial HVAC duct fabrication, electrical panel work, and general metal assembly. The pan head profile sits low and distributes clamping load across a broad bearing surface, making it a practical choice where a flush or low-profile fastener head is needed. The No. 12 thread diameter and short 0.5-inch shank length are well matched to thin-stock materials where deeper engagement is not required or not available.

Key Features

• No. 12 thread size with 0.5-inch length under head for thin-gauge sheet metal fastening
• Pan head profile provides a broad clamping surface and low-profile seating
• Phillips drive for compatibility with standard power drivers and hand screwdrivers
• Type A and Type AB point for self-starting in pre-punched or pilot-drilled sheet metal
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance
• Sold in a 100-piece box for jobsite and shop stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose sheet metal fastener suitable for light-gauge steel applications including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and metal panel assemblies requiring a No. 12 pan head Phillips screw.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a Phillips bit in a power driver or hand screwdriver. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and shut down HVAC equipment before fastening into live panels or duct assemblies. Pre-punch or drill a pilot hole sized for the thread diameter when working with harder-gauge stock to prevent material deformation. Do not overtorque — pan head screws in light-gauge sheet metal can strip the base material if driven past seating.
