Hillman Fasteners 80086 Sheet Metal Screw 10x2.5in 100pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 80086 is a zinc-plated sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in light-gauge metal, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar trade applications. The No. 10 diameter and 2.5-inch length make this screw a workhorse size for HVAC duct assembly, electrical panel work, and general sheet metal fabrication. The Phillips pan head provides a low-profile bearing surface and is driven with a standard No. 2 Phillips bit. Zinc plating offers basic corrosion resistance for dry and semi-protected environments. Each pack contains 100 screws, keeping job-site replenishment straightforward.

These sheet metal screws are suited for residential and light commercial applications where a self-tapping fastener is needed to join or secure thin metal panels, brackets, or enclosures. HVAC technicians commonly use this size when assembling or patching rectangular ductwork sections and attaching sheet metal collars. Electricians reach for pan-head sheet metal screws when securing junction box covers and equipment enclosures. The 100-piece pack quantity supports single-job use or bench-stock replenishment.

Key Features

• No. 10 x 2.5-inch size — a common utility length for ductwork and panel fastening
• Phillips pan head drive for use with standard No. 2 Phillips bits and screw guns
• Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in dry and semi-protected installations
• Self-tapping thread form cuts its own path into light-gauge sheet metal
• 100-piece pack quantity reduces per-unit cost on volume fastening tasks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use sheet metal screw compatible with standard No. 10 clearance holes in light-gauge steel sheet metal applications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general sheet metal workers using a drill-driver or screw gun set to a controlled torque clutch to avoid stripping. Always de-energize electrical equipment and shut down HVAC systems before fastening into live enclosures or duct sections under pressure. Pilot holes may be required in heavier-gauge material to prevent sheet distortion. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA duct construction standards or the NEC for fastener placement in electrical enclosures.
