Diversitech DIVE-5-SCR81 Sheet Metal Screws 500 Pack

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH DIVE-5-SCR81 is a 500-pack of No. 8 x 1 inch taper point sheet metal screws built for HVAC and light sheet metal fabrication work. Each screw features a hex washer slotted head with a full 5/16 inch diameter that resists cam-out and stripping under power-driver torque. The heat-treated tapered point is engineered to start cleanly without walking or breaking, and all fasteners are manufactured burr-free for consistent seating. These are a high-cycle-use consumable stocked by HVAC installers, sheet metal workers, and service technicians who drive screws in volume every day.

These screws are suited for joining sheet metal panels, ductwork sections, HVAC equipment covers, and similar light-gauge metal assemblies in residential and commercial installations. The taper point eliminates the need for a pilot hole in most light-gauge applications, speeding up production work. The 500-count pack is sized for contractors and service teams running regular installs or service routes where fastener supply needs to stay consistent.

Key Features

• Heat-treated tapered point starts without walking or breaking in light-gauge sheet metal
• Full 5/16 inch hex washer slotted head resists stripping under driver torque
• Burr-free finish for consistent, flush seating
• No. 8 shank diameter — standard gauge for sheet metal ductwork fastening
• 500-count pack reduces restocking frequency on active job sites

Compatibility

Designed for use in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies, including HVAC ductwork, equipment panels, and similar applications where a No. 8 x 1 inch taper point sheet metal screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians and sheet metal workers using a hex-head driver or slotted bit at controlled speed to avoid overdriving. Power down all equipment before fastening panels on live units. Do not overdrive — the hex washer head should seat flush without distorting the sheet metal. Follow applicable SMACNA standards and local mechanical codes for duct fastener spacing and quantity.
