Self-drilling screws drill the hole and tap the threads in a single operation, eliminating the need for a separate pilot hole step. This screw is suited for fastening into heavier-gauge metal substrates and is a standard choice for sheet metal assembly, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light structural connections. Installation is handled by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, and electricians working with metal framing or enclosure panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tp-8x3\/4dp500 is designed for use in heavier-gauge metal applications. The Type 2 point geometry is rated for metal up to 0.100 inches thick. For heavier stock up to 0.175 inches thick, a Type 3 point variant is available. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface that resists pull-through and allows drive with a standard hex driver or nut driver, making it practical for high-volume installation with a power tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrills and taps threads in one pass — no pilot hole required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 8 diameter with 3\/4-inch length suits thin to medium sheet metal assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType 2 point rated for metal up to 0.100 inches thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex washer head provides wide bearing surface and reduces pull-through\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard hex drivers and nut drivers for power-tool installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500-piece pack supports production volume or service truck stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fastener for sheet metal assemblies requiring a No. 8 self-drilling screw with a hex washer head drive style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelf-drilling screws should be driven with a variable-speed drill or screw gun set to the appropriate clutch setting to avoid stripping the threads on thin-gauge material. Verify metal substrate thickness before selecting point type, as using a Type 2 point on stock exceeding 0.100 inches may result in incomplete thread engagement. Follow applicable sheet metal and mechanical codes, including SMACNA guidelines where HVAC ductwork is involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScrew Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Washer Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type 2 (metal up to 0.100 inches thick)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 500 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PECO FASTENERS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: tp-8x3\/4dp500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PECO FASTENERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383712219442,"sku":"TP-8X3\/4DP500","price":40.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312674474.jpg?v=1782605195","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/peco-fasteners-tp-8x3-4dp500-self-drilling-screw-8x3-4","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
