Value Collection SMSFI0-601000-100BX Sheet Metal Screw No. 6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMSFI0-601000-100BX is a No. 6 flat head slotted sheet metal screw with a Type AB point, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish. It measures 1 inch in overall length and is packaged in a box of 100 pieces. The Type AB point combines a tapered gimlet tip with coarse spaced threads, allowing it to start cleanly in pre-punched or drilled sheet metal without a tapping tool. The zinc finish provides baseline corrosion resistance for general indoor applications. This fastener is installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general trade professionals who need a reliable, commodity-grade screw for securing sheet metal panels, ductwork flanges, electrical enclosures, and light-gauge metal assemblies.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal fabrication and field assembly work common in residential and light commercial mechanical and electrical installations. Typical applications include securing HVAC duct sections, attaching sheet metal access panels, fastening junction box covers, and assembling metal framing components. The flat head profile sits flush or countersunk against the workpiece surface, keeping clearances tight in confined enclosures. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted bit drivers. These screws are sold in a box of 100 units, making them practical for stocking a service van or shop bin for routine job use.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 6 sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge steel, aluminum, and other thin-metal assemblies common in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trade work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, or plumbers as part of panel, duct, or enclosure assembly. Power down all electrical equipment and de-energize circuits before fastening near live components. Pre-punch or drill a pilot hole sized for a No. 6 Type AB thread to prevent sheet metal deformation. Do not overtighten — light-gauge sheet metal can strip or distort if torque is excessive.
