Hillman Fasteners 80087 No.12 X 0.5 in Sheet Metal Screw 100pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 80087 is a zinc-plated sheet metal screw designed for fast, secure fastening in light-gauge metal applications. Sized at No. 12 x 0.5 inches, it features a Phillips drive and a pan head profile that sits flush against the work surface without countersinking. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and sheltered installations. Each package contains 100 screws, making it practical for volume fastening tasks on sheet metal panels, ductwork accessories, electrical enclosures, and similar trade applications.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers who need a reliable, off-the-shelf fastener for securing thin metal components. The pan head design distributes clamping load across the material surface, reducing the risk of pull-through in light-gauge stock. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard bit drivers and screw guns used on the job site. The 100-count pack supports production-level installs where fastener supply needs to stay ahead of the work.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 12 x 0.5 inch sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge metal panels, brackets, and enclosures commonly found in HVAC, electrical, and sheet metal trade applications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws should be installed by qualified tradespeople following applicable codes such as the NEC for electrical enclosures or SMACNA standards for ductwork. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in heavier-gauge stock helps prevent material distortion and reduces drive torque. Use a clutched screwdriver or driver with adjustable torque to avoid stripping the Phillips recess or over-driving into thin material. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening near live components.
