Au-ve-co Products 2773 Sheet Metal Screw Size 8 Phillips

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 2773 is a No. 8 sheet metal screw with a Sems oval head and Phillips drive, measuring 1.25 inches in overall length. It is constructed from Grade 2 steel with a chrome finish, offering corrosion resistance in typical indoor mechanical applications. This screw is used to fasten sheet metal panels, brackets, and enclosures in HVAC, electrical, and light mechanical assemblies. Installation is straightforward with a No. 6 Phillips bit. The Sems design integrates a captive washer beneath the head, ensuring consistent seating and reducing the risk of over-driving or losing the washer during assembly.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal fabrication and field service work across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing applications. It is a standard fastener for securing access panels, equipment housings, ductwork flanges, and control box covers. The chrome finish makes it appropriate for visible or semi-exposed interior installations where a clean appearance is acceptable. Sold in quantities consistent with trade use, it fits standard service and assembly workflows for HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers working with sheet metal enclosures.

Key Features

• No. 8 thread size with 1.25-inch overall length for light-gauge sheet metal fastening

• No. 6 Phillips drive compatible with standard power and hand tools
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable tensile strength in light-duty applications
• Chrome finish for corrosion resistance in typical interior environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 sheet metal screw for use in HVAC panels, electrical enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies requiring a Sems oval head Phillips-drive fastener.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers during equipment assembly and panel service work. Power down and de-energize any equipment before removing or replacing panel fasteners. Use a No. 6 Phillips bit sized appropriately to avoid cam-out and head damage. Do not overtighten in thin-gauge sheet metal, as stripping the thread in the base material is the most common installation error.
