Sized at number 8 diameter by 1 inch in length with 18 threads per inch (TPI), each screw features a number 2 drill point that creates an optimum pilot hole for tight thread engagement without pre-drilling. The 1\/4-inch hex drive makes these compatible with standard power drivers and impact tools. Screws are cold forged for consistent dimensional uniformity and heat treated for added hardness and durability. This bulk pack contains 500 screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese bit-tip screws are well suited for HVAC duct fabrication, sheet metal assembly, and light construction fastening where speed and holding strength matter. The self-drilling bit-tip point eliminates the need for separate drill bits or auxiliary fastening equipment, reducing steps and labor time on the job. Licensed sheet metal workers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this fastener type, though general tradespeople working with light gauge steel will find them equally practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber 2 drill point sized for optimum hole diameter and thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCold forged construction ensures uniform dimensions and consistent drill point contour\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeat treated steel for improved hardness and tapping performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch hex drive compatible with standard power drivers and hex-tip impact drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex washer head distributes clamping load and resists pull-through\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEliminates need for separate drill bits or welding equipment in sheet metal work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBulk pack of 500 for high-volume production or service use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and general-use bit-tip screw for sheet metal and light steel fastening applications requiring a number 8 diameter, 1-inch, 18 TPI hex washer head fastener with a 1\/4-inch hex drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSheet metal workers and HVAC technicians typically install these screws using a 1\/4-inch hex chuck power driver or impact driver set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid stripping the hex washer head. Power down all equipment and secure workpieces before fastening. Do not over-torque, as this can strip threads in light gauge material or damage the washer face. Follow applicable sheet metal and ductwork installation codes, including SMACNA standards where required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-inch Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Washer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heat Treated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 500 per bulk pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lifetime Limited\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: MALCO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BT134-500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MALCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51283926122802,"sku":"BT134-500","price":58.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309278253.jpg?v=1781063365","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/malco-bt134-500-hex-washer-bit-tip-screw-18-tpi-500pk","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
