Hillman Fasteners 823258 Sheet Metal Screw 8x0.5in 100pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 823258 is a stainless steel Phillips pan head sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in thin metal substrates. Sized at No. 8 x 0.5 inches, this screw delivers reliable thread engagement in sheet metal applications common to HVAC, electrical enclosures, ductwork, and light fabrication. The pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface that resists pull-through, while the Phillips drive allows fast installation with standard power tools. Each box contains 100 screws, making it practical for repeat-use service calls and production work. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in both indoor and outdoor environments.

These sheet metal screws are suited for residential and light commercial applications where metal-to-metal fastening is required. Common uses include securing HVAC duct panels, electrical junction box covers, equipment housings, and flashing. The No. 8 diameter and 0.5-inch length are well matched to light-gauge sheet metal typical in HVAC and electrical work. Licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers will find this size useful for everyday service and installation tasks.

Key Features

• No. 8 x 0.5-inch size suits light-gauge sheet metal fastening
• Phillips pan head drive for fast, tool-compatible installation
• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor conditions
• Pan head profile provides broad bearing surface to reduce pull-through
• 100-count pack supports high-volume service and installation work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies in HVAC, electrical, and light fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a Phillips-head bit and a power driver or manual screwdriver. Verify that the substrate gauge is appropriate for a No. 8 self-tapping screw before driving to avoid stripping. Follow applicable installation standards such as SMACNA guidelines for duct fastening or NEC requirements for electrical enclosure work. Do not overtighten, as pan head screws in thin sheet metal can strip or deform the substrate.
