Hillman Fasteners 823274 Sheet Metal Screw 8x2 in 100pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 823274 is a stainless steel sheet metal screw in a No. 8 x 2 inch pan head configuration with a Phillips drive. Sold in a 100-count box, this fastener is designed for self-tapping applications in light-gauge sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-metal assemblies. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor environments. The pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wider surface area, and the Phillips drive is compatible with standard power drivers and hand tools used in daily trade work.

This fastener is a standard choice for HVAC technicians fastening duct sections, flanges, and sheet metal panels. Electricians use pan head sheet metal screws for securing junction box covers and enclosure panels. The No. 8 x 2 inch size suits applications requiring a deeper bite through stacked or thicker light-gauge material. The 100-count pack quantity supports routine service work and repeat-use installations on residential and light commercial jobs.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor-exposed installations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose sheet metal fastener for use in HVAC duct systems, electrical enclosures, and light-gauge metal panel assemblies requiring a No. 8 x 2 inch Phillips pan head screw.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a No. 2 Phillips bit in a power driver or hand screwdriver. De-energize all electrical systems and shut off HVAC equipment before fastening panels or enclosure covers. Avoid overdriving, which can strip the self-tapped threads in light-gauge material. Follow applicable local mechanical and electrical codes when fastening duct sections or equipment enclosures.
