Hillman Fasteners 823462 Sheet Metal Screw No.8 X 0.75 in 100pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 823462 is a stainless steel sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in light-gauge metal, sheet metal enclosures, electrical panels, HVAC equipment housings, and similar applications. The No. 8 x 0.75-inch flat head configuration sits flush with the surface once driven, making it well suited for installations where a low-profile finish is required. The Phillips drive head accepts standard Phillips bits for quick installation with a power driver or hand screwdriver. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in exposed or moisture-prone environments, a common concern in HVAC, plumbing, and outdoor electrical work. Each box contains 100 screws.

These screws are commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and sheet metal workers to fasten equipment covers, junction box covers, ductwork components, and access panels. The self-tapping thread profile bites directly into sheet metal without requiring a pre-tapped hole in most light-gauge applications, reducing installation steps on the job. The 100-count pack is sized for service van stocking or single-job consumption on larger installs.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers during equipment assembly, panel work, or ductwork fabrication. Always de-energize electrical equipment and shut off relevant systems before fastening covers or enclosure panels. A No. 2 Phillips bit in a power driver is the standard tool for installation. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the sheet metal and reduce holding strength.
