Greenlee shwhzs8x12m Zip Screw 8x0.5in Pack of 1000

Product Description

The GREENLEE shwhzs8x12m is a No. 8 x 0.5 inch sharp point hex head zip screw sold in a pack of 1000. Zip screws are self-starting fasteners designed to drive into light-gauge steel framing, sheet metal, and similar substrates without a pilot hole. The sharp point tip penetrates material quickly, and the hex head allows for consistent torque with a hex-tip driver or nut driver. This fastener is a standard production consumable for electricians, HVAC installers, and sheet metal mechanics working on duct assemblies, panel mounting, and light structural connections.

This fastener is suited to light commercial and residential applications where a reliable, self-starting screw is needed for metal-to-metal or sheet metal fastening. Common use cases include securing electrical enclosures, HVAC duct sections, metal framing components, and junction box knockouts. The 1000-count pack format supports high-volume production work and service fleets where job-site replenishment is a regular need.

Key Features

• Sharp point tip for self-starting penetration into light-gauge steel without pre-drilling
• Hex head drive for consistent engagement with standard hex-tip power drivers
• No. 8 x 0.5 inch size for light-gauge sheet metal and enclosure fastening
• 1000-count pack reduces per-unit cost for high-volume install crews
• Bulk pack format suits service van stocking and production assembly work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fastener for light-gauge sheet metal applications including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and metal framing assemblies.

Installation Notes

This fastener is typically installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal mechanics using a hex-tip power driver or nut driver. Ensure the substrate material gauge is appropriate for a No. 8 sharp point screw to avoid stripping. Power down any electrical panel or enclosure before fastening in or around energized components. Follow applicable NEC and local code requirements when securing electrical enclosures or junction boxes.
