Self-drilling screws eliminate the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole, combining the drill bit and fastener into a single step. This screw is suited for light-gauge metal-to-metal or metal-to-substrate fastening applications common in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and sheet metal assemblies. Installation is straightforward and fast, making it a standard fastener for sheet metal mechanics, HVAC technicians, and electrical installers working on both residential and light commercial projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fastener is sold individually and is appropriate for field and shop use wherever a No. 8 Phillips drive TEK screw is specified. Typical applications include securing HVAC duct connections, attaching sheet metal panels, mounting electrical junction boxes, and general light-gauge metal fabrication. Its compact 0.5-inch length makes it well-suited for thin-material applications where a longer fastener would protrude or cause interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSelf-drilling tip eliminates pre-drilling for single-step installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePhillips drive head for compatibility with standard No. 2 Phillips bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo. 8 diameter x 0.5-inch length for thin-gauge metal applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as individual unit for flexible quantity purchasing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for HVAC, electrical, and sheet metal fastening tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard TEK Phillips self-drilling screw for use in light-gauge metal fastening applications across HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a power drill or screw gun with a No. 2 Phillips bit. Apply steady axial pressure while driving to allow the self-drilling tip to penetrate the substrate cleanly without walking. Do not overdrive — excess torque can strip the head or deform thin sheet metal. No pilot hole is required for light-gauge metal within the screw's rated material thickness range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScrew Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Phillips\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScrew Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: TEK Self-Drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each (1 piece)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: L H Dottie Co\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: TEKPH812\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DOTTIE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51686595887410,"sku":"TEKPH812","price":33.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/l-h-dottie-tekph812-tek-phillips-screw-8-x-0-5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
