Value Collection SMSTI-1000500-050B Sheet Metal Screw 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMSTI-1000500-050B is a No. 10 oval head slotted sheet metal screw designed for light-gauge metal fastening applications. Made from steel with a zinc finish, this screw measures 0.5 inches in overall length and features a Type AB point for reliable thread engagement in thin sheet metal, light steel framing components, ductwork, and similar materials. The oval head profile sits slightly proud of the surface, providing a finished appearance where a flush fit is not required. This package contains 50 screws, making it well suited for service stock or small-volume installation work. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted bit drivers.

These sheet metal screws are used across HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication work. Common applications include securing ductwork panels, attaching sheet metal covers and access doors, fastening electrical enclosures, and assembling light structural sheet metal assemblies. The Type AB point allows for self-starting in pre-punched or pre-drilled holes in thin steel without requiring a separate tapping operation. Suitable for both residential and light commercial trade use.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted power bit. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and shut down HVAC systems before fastening access panels or covers. Pre-punch or pre-drill holes to the appropriate size for No. 10 Type AB screws to avoid distorting thin sheet metal. Follow applicable codes including SMACNA standards for ductwork fastening and the NEC for electrical enclosure work.
