Value Collection SMPPI-1403000-025B Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPPI-1403000-025B is a Type AB point, pan head, Phillips drive sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge sheet metal, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-material assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw measures 3 inches in length under the head and is sized at thread size 14. It is sold in a pack of 25, making it appropriate for service stock or small-run field repairs. HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade contractors install this fastener type regularly during duct assembly, panel attachment, and enclosure work.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a self-starting Type AB point simplifies installation into pre-punched or pre-drilled sheet metal holes without requiring a separate tapping operation. The pan head profile keeps the fastener low-profile against the work surface, distributing clamping load across a wider bearing area than a flat head. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power screwdrivers and hand drivers commonly carried by field technicians.

Key Features

• Thread size 14 with Type AB point for self-starting into sheet metal
• 3-inch length under head for securing thicker stacked sheet metal assemblies or deeper panel flanges
• Pan head profile provides broad clamping surface and sits flush against flat sheet metal faces
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits and power drivers
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for general-purpose corrosion protection
• Packed in quantities of 25 — suitable for service truck restocking or small job lots

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose sheet metal fastener for use in residential and light commercial duct fabrication, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and similar thin-gauge steel assemblies where a Type AB thread form is specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers. De-energize any electrical panel or HVAC equipment before accessing internal sheet metal components. A No. 2 Phillips bit driven with a variable-speed drill or impact driver is standard practice; use of an impact driver at high torque settings on thin-gauge material may cause thread strip-out, so regulate torque appropriately. Confirm the substrate gauge and pre-punched hole diameter are appropriate for a size 14 Type AB thread form before installation.
