Value Collection SMSFI-1002000-100BX Sheet Metal Screw No. 10

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMSFI-1002000-100BX is a No. 10 flat head slotted sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal assemblies in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication work. Measuring 2 inches in overall length, this screw features a Type AB point for reliable thread engagement in light-gauge steel, aluminum, and similar materials. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for interior and sheltered applications. Made from Grade 2 steel, these screws are sold in a box quantity of 100, making them suitable for production work and service truck stocking.

These screws are commonly used by HVAC technicians and sheet metal workers securing ductwork panels, junction box covers, equipment enclosures, and light structural sheet metal connections. The flat head profile sits flush with the workpiece surface, making it appropriate where a low-profile fastener is required. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted bits. Type AB thread form cuts its own mating threads in pre-punched or drilled holes in sheet metal and some plastics.

Key Features

• No. 10 thread size with Type AB self-tapping point for use in pre-punched sheet metal holes
• 2 inches overall length for fastening through stacked sheet metal or thicker panel assemblies
• Flat head profile seats flush with the work surface
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and power bits
• Zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance in interior or sheltered environments
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable shear and tensile performance in light-gauge applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for use in pre-punched or drilled holes in light-gauge steel, aluminum, and similar sheet metal applications common in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general fabrication.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal fabricators using a flat-blade screwdriver or a power driver with a slotted bit. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and shut down HVAC equipment before fastening panels or covers. Pre-punch or pre-drill pilot holes sized to the manufacturer recommendation for No. 10 Type AB screws to avoid stripping the thread form. Do not overtighten, as the self-tapping thread can strip light-gauge metal if excessive torque is applied.
