Hillman Fasteners 80056 Zinc Sheet Metal Screws 8x2 100 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 80056 is a zinc-plated sheet metal screw designed for reliable fastening in light-gauge metal applications. The No. 8 x 2 inch size features a Phillips drive pan head, making it compatible with standard Phillips drivers and drill bits. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and sheltered outdoor use. These screws are packaged in quantities of 100, making them suitable for production installs, service calls, or shop stock. HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general tradespeople commonly use this fastener type when securing ductwork panels, equipment housings, junction boxes, and metal trim.

This screw size and style is widely used in residential and light commercial construction and mechanical trades. Typical applications include attaching sheet metal duct sections, securing electrical enclosure covers, fastening metal framing components, and general light-gauge metal assembly. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface across the workpiece, and the self-tapping thread form cuts into sheet metal without requiring a pre-tapped hole in most light-gauge applications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are typically installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a Phillips bit and power driver or hand screwdriver. Pilot holes may be recommended in heavier-gauge material to avoid splitting or distortion. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening into or near enclosures. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA standards for ductwork fastening patterns and spacing.
