Hillman 560280 Self-drilling Sheet Metal Screw 8-18 1-1/2 in 100ct

Product Description

The HILLMAN 560280 is a Phillips pan head self-drilling sheet metal screw designed to drill, tap, and fasten in a single operation. Sized at 8-18 x 1-1/2 inches, these screws eliminate the need for a separate pilot hole or tapping step, saving time on production and service work. The pan head profile distributes clamping load across the material surface. Sold in a 100-piece pack, the 560280 is suited for electricians, HVAC techs, plumbers, and general trade professionals who regularly fasten components to sheet metal substrates.

These screws are well suited for light-gauge sheet metal assembly tasks common in HVAC ductwork fabrication, electrical enclosure work, metal framing, and general mechanical applications. Their self-drilling point performs reliably when attaching a wide range of materials to metal, including thin gauge panels, brackets, and strapping. The 100-count pack quantity makes them practical for both service vans and shop inventory.

Key Features

• Self-drilling point drills, taps, and fastens in one step — no pilot hole required
• Phillips drive pan head for broad surface contact and reduced cam-out risk
• 8-18 thread size with 1-1/2 inch length for versatile light-gauge metal fastening
• Compatible with a wide range of materials being attached to metal substrates
• 100-piece pack suitable for stocking service vehicles or job-site use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose self-drilling sheet metal fastener suitable for light-gauge metal framing, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar sheet metal assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard Phillips-head bit and variable-speed drill or screwdriver. Apply steady, moderate pressure to allow the drill point to engage the metal before the threads advance. Avoid over-torquing, which can strip the formed threads in light-gauge material. Follow applicable building and mechanical codes for fastener spacing and pull-out requirements in structural or code-governed assemblies.
