Hillman Fasteners 823466 Sheet Metal Screw 8x1 100 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 823466 is a stainless steel sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal work. The flat head profile sits flush with the material surface, and the Phillips drive allows fast installation with standard power tools. Each box contains 100 screws sized at number 8 by 1 inch. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor applications, making these screws a reliable choice for jobs where moisture exposure is a concern.

These sheet metal screws are suited for residential and light commercial applications where a flush, corrosion-resistant fastener is required. Common uses include securing HVAC duct panels, electrical junction box covers, metal trim, and sheet metal assemblies. Trades that regularly stock these include HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers who work with metal enclosures and panels on a routine basis.

Key Features

• Flat head profile for flush surface installation
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits and power drivers
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and rust in wet or humid environments
• Number 8 by 1 inch size suits standard sheet metal gauges used in HVAC and electrical work
• 100-count pack reduces reorder frequency on active job sites

Compatibility

Designed as a standard sheet metal screw for use with typical light-gauge metal panels, duct sections, enclosures, and similar assemblies requiring a flush-head fastener.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade contractors using a No. 2 Phillips bit and a power driver or hand screwdriver. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in heavier gauge material prevents stripping and improves thread engagement. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the threads in thin sheet metal or crack the drive recess. Follow applicable building and trade codes for fastener specifications when work is part of a permitted installation.
