Value Collection SMPPI-1201000-100BX No.12 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPPI-1201000-100BX is a No. 12 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge sheet metal and related thin-material assemblies. It features a Phillips drive, a Type AB point for self-starting penetration, and a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. The screw measures 1 inch in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel. It arrives in a box of 100 pieces, making it well suited for service vans, shop stock, and jobsite supply kits used by HVAC technicians, electricians, sheet metal workers, and general trade contractors.

This screw is commonly used in ductwork fabrication, electrical enclosure assembly, HVAC cabinet installation, and light structural sheet metal work. The pan head profile provides a broad bearing surface that resists pull-through on thin-gauge panels. The Type AB point allows the fastener to tap its own thread path in sheet metal without requiring a pre-tapped hole, reducing labor steps in the field. The 100-piece box quantity suits both single-job use and routine restocking of field inventory.

Key Features

• No. 12 thread size for reliable grip in light-gauge sheet metal
• Pan head profile with broad bearing surface to resist pull-through
• Phillips drive for compatibility with common power drivers and hand tools
• Type AB point for self-starting thread engagement without pre-tapping
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion protection in indoor and sheltered applications
• Grade 2 steel construction balances strength and formability for sheet metal work

Compatibility

Designed for use in light-gauge sheet metal applications typical of HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication where a No. 12 pan head Phillips fastener with a Type AB point is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips-tip power driver or hand screwdriver; confirm the driver bit size matches the No. 12 head to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure sheet metal panels are properly clamped or supported before driving to prevent movement. Apply consistent, steady pressure when starting the Type AB point to avoid walking on smooth or painted surfaces. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA duct construction standards or NEC enclosure requirements when fastener spacing or quantity is regulated.
