Stewart Fastener 0840ASHZ Hex Washer Head Zinc Screws 100pk

Product Description

The STEWART FASTENER 0840ASHZ is a Type A sheet metal screw with a hex washer head finish, supplied in a jar of 100 fasteners. Sized at No. 8 x 2-1/2 inches, these screws feature a zinc coating for corrosion resistance in typical indoor and light-duty applications. The hex washer head design allows for driver engagement with a standard hex bit or nut driver, providing consistent torque and a built-in washer bearing surface that distributes clamping load and reduces pull-through. These fasteners are commonly installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, plumbers, and general contractors working with light-gauge metal components.

Type A sheet metal screws are intended for use in light-gauge sheet metal, thin metal panels, and similar substrates where a self-tapping thread form is appropriate. The 2-1/2-inch length provides adequate thread engagement for multi-layer assemblies or thicker material stacks. The hex washer head style is a standard choice for ductwork, equipment enclosures, access panels, and general sheet metal fabrication in residential and light commercial settings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors using a hex bit driver or nut driver sized to the head.
