Value Collection SMQPI-1201500-050B No. 12 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMQPI-1201500-050B is a No. 12 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge sheet metal, ductwork, and thin-material assemblies. It features a square drive recess, a Type AB point for self-starting penetration, and a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. The screw measures 1.5 inches under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel, making it a reliable general-purpose fastener for repetitive sheet metal work. Each order ships in a pack of 50 pieces, suited for job-site or shop use where consistent fastener inventory is needed.

This screw is well suited for HVAC ductwork fabrication, sheet metal enclosures, electrical panels, junction boxes, and light structural sheet metal assemblies. The Type AB thread form cuts into pre-drilled or punched pilot holes in thin ferrous and non-ferrous sheet stock. The pan head profile sits flush enough for most surface applications while providing a broad bearing surface. HVAC technicians, sheet metal mechanics, and electricians commonly use this fastener during installation, fabrication, and service work.

Key Features

• No. 12 thread size for reliable holding strength in light-gauge sheet metal
• 1.5-inch length under head accommodates typical sheet metal stack thicknesses
• Square drive reduces cam-out during high-volume installation
• Type AB point self-starts in pilot holes without pre-tapping
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion protection in dry indoor environments
• Grade 2 steel construction offers consistent tensile performance for general fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Type AB sheet metal screw compatible with light-gauge ferrous and non-ferrous sheet metal applications requiring a No. 12 pan head square-drive fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by sheet metal mechanics, HVAC technicians, or electricians using a square-drive bit and appropriate drill or screwdriver. Always drill or punch a correctly sized pilot hole per the sheet metal gauge being fastened before driving the screw. Ensure power is disconnected to any electrical enclosure or HVAC unit before accessing panels or ductwork. Do not overdrive, as strip-out can occur in thin-gauge material.
