L H Dottie Co TEKPH82 Phillips Pan Head Tek Screw 8x2

Product Description

The L H Dottie Co TEKPH82 is a self-drilling tek screw in a No. 8 x 2-inch size with a Phillips pan head drive style. Tek screws are designed to drill, tap, and fasten in a single operation without requiring a pre-drilled pilot hole. This fastener is commonly used in light-gauge metal framing, HVAC ductwork assembly, and general sheet metal applications. Each box contains 100 screws. The pan head profile sits flat and distributes clamping load across the workpiece surface, making it well suited for attaching metal to metal in tight or confined spaces.

This screw is a standard choice for HVAC installers, electricians, and sheet metal workers who need a reliable, fast-driving fastener for light structural and non-structural connections. Typical applications include securing duct flanges, attaching metal brackets, fastening electrical enclosures, and general trade construction tasks where speed and ease of installation matter. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits used across the trades.

Installation Notes

Tek screws are typically installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a drill driver or impact driver set to a controlled torque mode to avoid overdriving. Power down any electrical equipment or shut off any systems in the work area before fastening near live components. Use the correct bit size to avoid cam-out and damage to the drive recess. Follow applicable local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and load requirements.
