Au-ve-co Products 16039 No. 8 Hex Washer Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 16039 is a No. 8 hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal components in HVAC, electrical, and light fabrication applications. It measures 0.5 inches in length under the head and features a Tek-style self-drilling point that eliminates the need for a pilot hole in thin-gauge metal. The hex drive head allows for reliable torque application with a standard nut driver or hex bit. Constructed from steel, this screw is suited for indoor mechanical and panel assembly work performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC equipment assembly, ductwork attachment, electrical enclosures, and light sheet metal fabrication. The 0.5-inch under-head length makes it appropriate for thin-gauge applications where a shorter fastener is needed to avoid over-penetration. It is sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces, making it practical for field service kits, shop stock, and contractor supply.

Key Features

• No. 8 thread size in inch measurement system
• 0.5-inch length under head for thin-gauge sheet metal work
• Hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface and positive drive engagement
• Tek-style self-drilling point eliminates pilot hole requirement in thin metal
• Steel construction for structural integrity in mechanical fastening applications
• Hex drive compatible with standard nut drivers and hex bit drivers

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 hex washer head Tek-point sheet metal screw suitable for thin-gauge steel panels, HVAC equipment housings, ductwork components, and electrical enclosures where a self-drilling fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, or electricians using a nut driver or drill driver fitted with the appropriate hex bit. Power down and de-energize any electrical or HVAC equipment before fastening panels or enclosures. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the self-drilled hole or deform the washer head seating surface. Follow applicable NEC or local mechanical codes when securing electrical enclosures or equipment panels.
