Hillman Fasteners 823470 Sheet Metal Screw 100 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 823470 is a stainless steel Phillips flat head sheet metal screw supplied in a 100-piece pack. Each screw measures size 8 by 1.5 inches and features a flat head profile that sits flush with the work surface when fully driven. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion, making these fasteners appropriate for both indoor and outdoor applications where moisture exposure is a concern. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade contractors commonly keep these on hand for securing sheet metal, light-gauge brackets, junction box covers, and duct work components.

These screws are suited for residential and light commercial trade work where a No. 8 sheet metal screw is the standard fastener. Typical applications include securing HVAC duct flanges, electrical enclosure panels, sheet metal brackets, and similar thin-gauge metal assemblies. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits used across all trades. The flat head profile is especially useful where a raised fastener head would interfere with mating surfaces or covers.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Flat head profile seats flush with the work surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits
• Size 8 x 1.5 inches suits light-gauge sheet metal fastening tasks
• 100-piece pack supports high-volume trade work without frequent reordering

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 x 1.5-inch Phillips flat head sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge metal fastening applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction trades.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws should be installed with a No. 2 Phillips bit driver at controlled speed to avoid stripping the drive or distorting thin-gauge metal. A pilot hole is recommended for harder gauge materials to ensure clean thread engagement. Always de-energize electrical panels or HVAC equipment before fastening covers or enclosures. Follow applicable NEC or local mechanical code requirements when securing electrical or HVAC enclosure components.
