Stop. Get direction before you touch it.

Is one sheet metal screw enough to hold a duct hanger strap?

One small screw into duct skin is not a safe hanger attachment. Stop loading it and refasten by the approved hanger/support detail.

['A hanger strap attached with one short screw can tear out, strip, or unzip the sheet metal under load.', 'Support the run, check all similar straps, and refasten using the approved quantity/type of fasteners, backing, washers, bolts, or structural support method for that duct and load.']
