Diversitech DIVE-5-SCR83-4DP Sheet Metal Screw 500 Pack

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH DIVE-5-SCR83-4DP is a self-drilling, self-tapping sheet metal screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in metal-to-metal applications. The No. 8 shank with a 0.75-inch length and drill-point tip eliminates the need for a pilot hole, cutting its own opening and threading in a single operation. The hex washer head provides positive drive engagement and a bearing surface that resists pull-through. Manufactured from heat-treated steel for added shear strength, these screws are a standard consumable for HVAC duct fabrication, equipment mounting, and light-gauge sheet metal assembly. Sold in a 500-count pack sized for high-volume jobsite use.

These screws are used across residential and light commercial HVAC installations, ductwork fabrication shops, and mechanical rooms wherever light-gauge sheet metal components need to be joined or secured. Common applications include attaching duct flanges, securing equipment access panels, fastening sheet metal brackets, and assembling HVAC unit enclosures. The 500-count pack is well suited for sheet metal contractors and HVAC technicians who need a reliable bulk supply of a high-turnover fastener on service vehicles or at the shop.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 x 0.75-inch drill-point hex washer head sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge sheet metal fastening tasks common in HVAC duct fabrication and equipment assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC sheet metal mechanics and general mechanical contractors using a hex-tip power driver or manual nut driver sized for the hex washer head. Ensure the base material is light-gauge sheet metal within the rated capacity of a drill-point tip before driving. Avoid over-torquing, which can strip the self-tapped thread or distort thin sheet metal. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and quantity.
