Hillman Fasteners 80042 Sheet Metal Screws 8x0.75in 100PK

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 80042 is a 100-pack of No. 8 x 0.75 inch zinc-plated Phillips pan head sheet metal screws. These fasteners are designed to thread directly into sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar substrates without a pre-tapped hole. The Phillips drive and pan head profile make them compatible with standard power drivers and hand tools. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and sheltered applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors reach for this screw type when securing sheet metal ductwork, junction boxes, equipment panels, and light-gauge framing components.

This fastener is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving sheet metal fabrication, HVAC duct assembly, electrical enclosure work, and equipment panel attachment. The pan head sits flush against the material surface and distributes clamping load evenly, reducing the risk of pull-through on thinner gauges. The 100-count packaging makes this a practical bench-stock or service-van item for trades that use sheet metal screws at high frequency.

Key Features

• No. 8 x 0.75 inch size fits standard sheet metal fastener applications
• Phillips drive compatible with common power drivers and screwdrivers
• Pan head profile distributes load and resists pull-through on thin gauges
• Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance for general-use environments
• 100-piece pack suits bench stock and high-frequency service use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 x 0.75 inch Phillips pan head sheet metal screw for use in HVAC duct assembly, electrical enclosures, equipment panels, and general light-gauge sheet metal fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors using standard Phillips-head drivers or power drill drivers. Always select the correct pilot hole size for the gauge of metal being fastened to avoid stripping or cracking thin substrates. Power down all electrical equipment and depressurize any associated ductwork before driving fasteners into energized panels or live duct systems. Follow applicable NEC or SMACNA guidelines for fastener spacing and type in code-regulated installations.
