Au-ve-co Products 10652 Sheet Metal Screw Size 8

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 10652 is a No. 8 oval head sheet metal screw designed for light-gauge metal fastening in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal applications. It features a Phillips drive and a Type AB point for self-starting penetration into thin steel panels, ductwork, housings, and enclosures. The screw measures 0.625 inches in length under the head and is constructed from steel for reliable holding strength in standard indoor applications. The oval head provides a low-profile, finished appearance where exposed fasteners are acceptable. These are sold in minimum order quantities of 50 pieces.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial trade work where No. 8 sheet metal fasteners are called for. Typical applications include securing HVAC duct sections, electrical panel covers, junction box covers, equipment access panels, and other light-gauge sheet metal assemblies. The Type AB point reduces the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole in many thin-gauge materials, speeding up field installation. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers commonly stock this size for routine service and installation tasks.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a No. 2 Phillips bit driver or screwdriver. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before fastening covers or panels. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the threads or distort thin-gauge material. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA standards for duct fastening patterns and spacing.
