Value Collection SMSFI0-600500-100BX Sheet Metal Screw No. 6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMSFI0-600500-100BX is a No. 6 flat head slotted sheet metal screw designed for light-gauge metal fastening in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal applications. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw features a Type AB point for self-starting entry into pre-punched or drilled sheet metal. The overall length is 0.5 inches. This pack contains 100 pieces, making it a practical bench stock or service-van supply for technicians who regularly install ductwork, panels, junction boxes, or equipment covers.

These screws are suited for residential and light commercial sheet metal assembly work. HVAC installers use flat head slotted sheet metal screws for flush-mount applications where the fastener head must sit flush with or below the material surface. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flathead screwdrivers and slotted bit drivers. The Type AB thread form is designed for use in thin sheet metal, resin, and light-gauge non-structural assemblies. The zinc plating provides a basic protective barrier against surface oxidation in dry indoor environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use in light-gauge sheet metal fastening applications typical of HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and equipment panels where a No. 6 flat head slotted sheet metal screw with a Type AB point is specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a flathead screwdriver or a slotted bit driver. Pilot holes or pre-punched knockouts should match the recommended gauge for No. 6 Type AB screws to prevent stripping. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the thin sheet metal substrate or shear the fastener head. Follow applicable local mechanical and electrical codes when fastening enclosures or duct sections.
