Hillman Fasteners 116937 Pan Head Star Drive Screw 40 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 116937 is a No. 8 x 3/4-inch zinc-plated pan head screw designed for multi-material interior fastening. Part of the PowerPro One line, this screw features a star drive recess that reduces cam-out and delivers consistent torque transfer compared to Phillips or slotted drives. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance appropriate for dry interior applications. Sold in a 40-count pack, this fastener suits tradespeople and contractors who need a reliable, single-screw solution across varied substrate types without switching fasteners mid-job.

This screw is suited for interior residential and light commercial applications involving mixed substrates. It is rated for use on wood, masonry, drywall, and plastic, making it a practical choice when installers encounter multiple materials in a single run — such as securing trim, fixtures, or panels that transition between framing, drywall, and plastic components. HVAC, electrical, and general construction trades commonly reach for a multi-material screw like this when a dedicated specialty fastener is not required.

Key Features

• No. 8 x 3/4-inch size covers light-duty interior fastening across common substrate thicknesses
• Star drive recess reduces cam-out and improves bit engagement during installation
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for interior environments
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface
• Compatible with wood, masonry, drywall, and plastic substrates
• 40-count pack minimizes restocking interruptions on multi-point installation tasks

Compatibility

Designed for interior multi-material applications including wood, masonry, drywall, and plastic substrates. Not rated for exterior or high-moisture environments.

Installation Notes

Install with a star drive bit matched to the No. 8 screw size to ensure full engagement and prevent stripping. For masonry applications, pre-drilling a pilot hole is standard practice to avoid substrate cracking. Power down or de-energize any nearby electrical circuits before driving screws near wiring or panels. Do not use this fastener in exterior or wet locations, as the zinc plating is intended for dry interior conditions only.
