Import C52000427 No. 8 Pan Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The IMPORT C52000427 is a No. 8 pan head Phillips drive sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal and light-gauge materials in trade and mechanical applications. This screw features a self-piercing point that eliminates the need for a pilot hole in thin-gauge material, speeding up assembly and service work. The black finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty use. At 0.625 inches in length under the head, this fastener is suited for shallow-depth connections in HVAC panels, electrical enclosures, ductwork, and similar assemblies. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 50 units.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers when securing access panels, duct sections, junction box covers, and equipment enclosures. The pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider surface area compared to flat or oval head styles, making it a reliable choice where material pull-through is a concern. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard hand and power screwdrivers.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose sheet metal fastener suitable for HVAC panels, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light-gauge metal assemblies requiring a No. 8 self-piercing screw.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal fabricators using a Phillips screwdriver or a powered driver with a Phillips bit. De-energize and lock out electrical enclosures before fastening near live components, in accordance with applicable NFPA 70 (NEC) and OSHA lockout/tagout requirements. Avoid overtorquing, as excessive torque can strip the thread engagement in thin-gauge sheet metal. Verify screw length is appropriate for the combined material thickness before installation.
