Eaton BWHS9D Self-drilling Sheet Metal Screw 8x0.5in 1000pk

Product Description

The EATON BWHS9D is a self-drilling sheet metal screw from the B-Line series cable support fastener line, designed for fast, reliable attachment in steel sheet metal applications. Measuring 8 x 0.5 inches and constructed from steel, this fastener drills and taps its own hole in a single pass, eliminating the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole. Sold in a pack of 1000, the BWHS9D suits high-volume electrical installation work where consistent, repeatable fastening is required. Electricians and electrical contractors use these screws to secure cable trays, conduit supports, enclosures, and other B-Line series cable management components to sheet metal framing and structures.

This fastener is a standard choice for commercial and industrial electrical installations where cable support systems are mounted to sheet metal substrates. The pack-of-1000 quantity is suited to contractors and service teams working on large-scale projects that demand consistent fastener supply across multiple mounting points. Typical applications include cable tray support attachment, electrical enclosure mounting, and general sheet metal assembly work in both new construction and retrofit environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for cable support and securing. Power down and de-energize all nearby circuits before installing fasteners near energized equipment or conductors. A standard hex-head driver or drill with the appropriate bit is required. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the self-tapped threads in light-gauge sheet metal.
