Value Collection SMSPI-1201000-050B No. 12 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMSPI-1201000-050B is a No. 12 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, ductwork, and similar sheet stock. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw measures 1 inch in length under the head and features a Type A point for self-starting penetration into pre-drilled or pre-punched sheet metal. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver or bit. This package contains 50 screws, making it suitable for keeping a working supply on hand for service calls and panel work.

These screws are used across HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication applications. Typical uses include securing access panels, junction box covers, equipment housing, and ductwork connections. The pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface that resists pull-through in thin-gauge material. The zinc coating offers a base level of corrosion protection appropriate for indoor and sheltered installations.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a flat-blade screwdriver or matching bit driver. Pre-punching or pre-drilling the sheet metal to the correct pilot hole diameter is recommended before driving Type A screws to prevent material distortion. De-energize any electrical equipment and depressurize any ductwork system before opening access panels or installing fasteners. Do not overtighten, as pan head screws in thin-gauge sheet metal can strip the hole or distort the panel face.
