Value Collection V93146PR Size 6 Round Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION V93146PR is a size 6 round head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, and enclosures in light-duty assembly and service applications. The screw measures 0.25 inches in length under the head and features a Type U drive point for self-starting penetration into pre-punched or pilot-drilled holes in sheet metal. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener resists corrosion in humid or mildly corrosive environments. It conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 dimensional standards, making it a straightforward drop-in choice wherever a standardized size 6 sheet metal screw is specified.

This fastener is used across a wide range of trade applications where thin-gauge sheet metal assemblies require a small-diameter, short-length screw. Typical installations include HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosure covers, ductwork access doors, junction box lids, and light sheet metal fabrication. The round head profile seats flush against the surface without countersinking, which suits applications where a low-profile but non-flush fastener head is acceptable. These screws are supplied in bulk quantity increments suited to shop stock and service van inventory.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in humid service environments
• Type U point enables self-starting entry into pre-punched sheet metal
• Round head profile eliminates the need for countersunk holes
• Conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 dimensional standards
• Size 6 thread with 0.25 inch length under head suits thin sheet metal gauges

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or shop-stock fastener for size 6 round head sheet metal screw applications in HVAC, electrical, and light sheet metal assembly work where ASME B18.6.3 or B18.6.4 compliance is required.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this size are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a standard Phillips or slotted screwdriver or a power driver set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the small-diameter thread. Confirm pilot hole diameter matches the Type U point specification for the material gauge before driving. Power down electrical equipment and de-energize panels before fastening covers or enclosures. Avoid cross-threading by starting the screw by hand before applying driver torque.
