Value Collection SMPPI-1203000-025B Sheet Metal Screw 12

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPPI-1203000-025B is a Number 12 pan head sheet metal screw with a Phillips drive, sold in a pack of 25. It measures 3 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish. The Type AB point allows the fastener to self-tap into sheet metal, light-gauge steel framing, and similar thin materials without a pre-threaded hole. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers rely on this style of fastener for securing duct work panels, electrical enclosures, junction box covers, and other light-gauge assemblies.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial trade applications where a reliable, corrosion-resistant fastener is needed in sheet metal and light-gauge material installations. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion protection appropriate for indoor and sheltered environments. The pan head profile sits flat against the work surface and distributes clamping load evenly, making it a common choice for panel and cover attachments throughout HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical assembly work.

Key Features

• Number 12 thread size for use in light-gauge sheet metal applications
• 3-inch length under head accommodates thicker panel stacks or layered assemblies
• Phillips drive works with standard power drivers and hand screwdrivers
• Type AB point self-taps into sheet metal without pre-threading
• Zinc finish provides corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered installations
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable holding strength in light-duty fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock fastener for sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar thin-material assemblies commonly found in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and mechanical panels.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a Phillips-head bit and a power driver or hand screwdriver. Ensure the base material gauge is appropriate for the Type AB point to self-tap cleanly without stripping. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening covers or panels per NEC requirements. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the self-tapped threads in thin sheet metal.
