Hillman Fasteners 823266 Sheet Metal Screw 8x1 in 100pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 823266 is a stainless steel sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in metal substrates. Sized at No. 8 x 1 inch with a Phillips drive and pan head profile, this fastener delivers corrosion resistance and reliable holding power in both indoor and outdoor applications. Each box contains 100 screws, making it a practical supply quantity for production work or service calls. The pan head sits flush above the material surface, distributing load without countersinking. Stainless steel construction resists rust and chemical exposure, which is well suited to HVAC enclosures, electrical panels, ductwork, and similar trade environments.

These sheet metal screws are commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers when securing sheet metal components, junction boxes, equipment access panels, and light-gauge metal brackets. The No. 8 diameter and 1-inch length are a standard size for attaching thin sheet metal to metal framing or for reassembling equipment enclosures after service. The 100-count pack suits both single-job use and replenishing a service truck stock.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh or outdoor environments
• No. 8 x 1 inch sizing — a common trade standard for light-gauge sheet metal fastening
• Phillips drive for compatibility with standard power drivers and hand screwdrivers
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load without requiring a countersunk hole
• 100-screw pack quantity supports production runs and service truck restocking

Compatibility

Designed for use in light-gauge sheet metal applications typical of HVAC enclosures, electrical boxes, ductwork, and equipment access panels where a No. 8 x 1 inch pan head sheet metal screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers using a Phillips-head bit and a power driver or hand screwdriver. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure before fastening into or near live panels, in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the metal or damage the fastener head. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in heavier-gauge material will reduce drive torque and prevent sheet deformation.
