Value Collection SMSFI-1001000-100BX Sheet Metal Screw No. 10

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMSFI-1001000-100BX is a No. 10 flat head slotted sheet metal screw with a Type AB point, designed for fastening thin metal panels, ductwork, junction boxes, and light-gauge metal components. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw measures 1 inch in overall length. The flat head profile sits flush with the work surface, making it suitable for applications where a low-profile fastener is required. The Type AB point combines the self-tapping lead of a Type A with the finer thread pitch of a Type B, providing reliable thread engagement in sheet metal and light-gauge materials. Installed with a standard slotted screwdriver or slotted bit driver. Sold in a box of 100.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers for securing duct sections, attaching metal covers, fastening electrical enclosures, and general light-gauge metal assembly. The No. 10 size and 1-inch length suit a wide range of standard sheet metal gauges encountered in residential and light commercial mechanical, electrical, and HVAC installations. The zinc finish provides adequate protection in dry indoor environments typical of these applications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a slotted bit driver or manual screwdriver. Ensure the mating material is properly supported and clamped before driving to prevent deformation of light-gauge panels. De-energize electrical equipment and follow applicable NEC or IFGC guidelines before fastening enclosures or duct sections. Do not overdrive, as stripping threads in thin sheet metal will compromise the connection.
