L H Dottie Co TEKPH81 Teks Phillips Screw 8x1

Product Description

The L H Dottie Co TEKPH81 is a No. 8 x 1 inch Teks self-drilling Phillips head screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in metal and light structural applications. Teks-style screws are self-tapping, meaning they drill their own pilot hole as they drive, eliminating the need for pre-drilling in compatible materials. This fastener is sold as a single unit and is a standard selection for electricians, HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general trade professionals who need a dependable, quick-drive screw for everyday installation tasks.

The TEKPH81 is suited for attaching sheet metal, junction boxes, electrical enclosures, HVAC panels, and similar light-gauge metal assemblies. Its Phillips drive head is compatible with standard Phillips bits and power drivers, making it a practical choice in tight spaces or when working from a cordless drill. Trade professionals keep this size on hand for panel mounting, equipment enclosure work, and general fastening where a self-drilling screw is the preferred method.

Key Features

• Self-drilling Teks tip eliminates pre-drilling in compatible light-gauge metal
• No. 8 diameter with 1 inch length suits standard sheet metal and panel applications
• Phillips drive head compatible with common bits and power drivers
• Single-unit (EA) packaging for individual purchase or small-quantity needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for light-gauge metal assemblies, electrical enclosures, and HVAC panel applications where a No. 8 x 1 inch self-drilling Phillips screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips bit in a standard cordless or corded drill or power driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the drive head. Power down any electrical equipment or HVAC system before fastening into live enclosures or panels. Follow NEC or applicable local codes when securing electrical enclosures or junction boxes. Do not overdrive; stop driving when the screw head seats flush against the material surface.
