Value Collection SMPPI-1403000-100BX Sheet Metal Screw No. 14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPPI-1403000-100BX is a No. 14 pan head Phillips drive sheet metal screw with a Type AB point and a 3-inch length measured under the head. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, this fastener is designed for sheet metal joining and light-gauge metal fabrication work. The Type AB point provides fast thread engagement on thin materials and pre-punched holes. The pan head profile offers a low-profile bearing surface suited for overlapping sheet metal panels and enclosures. These screws are sold in a box of 100.

Sheet metal screws of this size and configuration are commonly used in HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, metal roofing, and general sheet metal work in both residential and light commercial settings. Typical applications include securing duct sections, attaching junction box covers, and fastening thin-gauge steel panels. The No. 14 diameter and 3-inch length make this screw appropriate for heavier-gauge sheet metal connections where a shorter fastener would not provide adequate thread engagement.

Key Features

• No. 14 thread size for heavier sheet metal fastening applications
• Type AB point for fast, self-starting thread engagement in pre-punched or drilled holes
• Pan head with Phillips drive for positive bit engagement and flush-bearing seating
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance in standard indoor environments
• 3-inch length under head accommodates thicker material stacks or deeper penetration requirements
• Box of 100 provides job-site quantity suitable for production or service work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 14 pan head Phillips Type AB sheet metal screw compatible with typical pre-punched or drilled sheet metal applications in HVAC, electrical, and general metal fabrication work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips bit driver or drill driver set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid stripping the pan head. Pre-punch or pre-drill the receiving material when working with heavier gauges to prevent material distortion. Zinc-finished fasteners are suitable for dry indoor environments; select a higher-corrosion-resistance finish for outdoor or high-humidity installations. Verify thread engagement depth meets applicable mechanical and structural requirements for the application.
