Malco P08X2ZW Sheet Metal Screw 8x2 in Zinc Washer 2300pk

Product Description

The MALCO P08X2ZW is a No. 8 Phillips pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal panels, equipment enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies where reliable thread engagement and improved load distribution are required. At 2 inches in overall length, the screw features an integrated washer assembly that increases bearing surface and distributes clamping force across the joint. The sharp thread-forming point drives cleanly into sheet metal without pre-drilling in most gauges. Heat-treated steel construction delivers consistent thread geometry and tensile strength throughout the fastener. A zinc plating finish provides corrosion resistance for typical indoor mechanical environments. Licensed HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers.

This fastener is well suited to HVAC duct fabrication and assembly, equipment panel installation, and general mechanical assembly tasks that call for a Phillips drive with extended thread engagement. The washer-head configuration is particularly useful where the base material is thinner or where pull-through resistance matters. The 2,300-count carton format supports high-volume production and service work, reducing interruptions on large duct or equipment installation runs. Both residential and commercial mechanical applications are served by this fastener format.

Key Features

• No. 8 x 2-inch overall length for extended thread engagement in sheet metal
• Phillips pan head recess for compatibility with standard Phillips bit drivers
• Integrated washer assembly increases bearing surface and improves clamping load distribution
• Sharp thread-forming point for direct penetration into sheet metal without pre-drilling in most gauges
• Heat-treated steel for consistent thread geometry and tensile strength
• Zinc plating finish for corrosion resistance in typical indoor mechanical environments
• 2,300-count carton format supports high-volume HVAC and sheet metal installation work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 Phillips pan head sheet metal screw suitable for HVAC duct assembly, equipment panel fastening, and general light mechanical assembly applications requiring a washer-head fastener with extended thread engagement.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, or mechanical contractors using a Phillips bit driver or screw gun set to appropriate clutch torque to avoid overdriving. Power down and de-energize any electrical equipment before fastening panels or enclosures. Verify base material gauge compatibility before driving without a pilot hole. Follow applicable SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes when fastening ductwork and equipment enclosures.
