Value Collection SMPPI-1402500-050BX Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPPI-1402500-050BX is a No. 14 pan head sheet metal screw with a Phillips drive and Type AB point. It measures 2.5 inches under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance. This fastener is used to join sheet metal panels, ductwork, housings, and light-gauge components in trade applications. The Type AB point is self-tapping, allowing installation without a pre-tapped hole in compatible thin-gauge materials. Sold in a minimum quantity of 50 per order.

This screw is well-suited for HVAC ductwork assembly, sheet metal enclosures, electrical panel work, and general mechanical fastening where a No. 14 thread size and a 2.5-inch length are specified. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface and works with standard Phillips bits. The zinc coating makes it appropriate for indoor and mildly corrosive environments commonly encountered in residential and light commercial installations.

Key Features

• No. 14 thread size with Type AB self-tapping point for use in sheet metal without pre-tapping
• 2.5-inch length under head for deeper engagement in stacked or thicker panel assemblies
• Pan head geometry distributes clamping load across a broad bearing surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power and hand drivers
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for general-purpose corrosion resistance
• Sold in packs of 50 for jobsite and shop inventory efficiency

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 14 Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel panels, HVAC ductwork, enclosures, and similar thin-metal fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips-tip screwdriver or bit driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the pan head. Ensure the base material is compatible with Type AB self-tapping threads before driving. For HVAC ductwork, follow SMACNA guidelines for fastener spacing and penetration depth. Always wear appropriate PPE when working with sheet metal edges.
