Value Collection 0804ABPU No. 8 Flat Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0804ABPU is a No. 8 flat head Phillips sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin-gauge metal assemblies in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general sheet metal fabrication work. Manufactured from Grade 1016-1024 carbon steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, it measures 0.25 inches in overall length. The Type AB point is self-tapping, allowing the screw to cut its own thread into sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar substrates without pre-tapping. The No. 2 Phillips drive provides consistent torque transfer with standard power drivers and hand tools. This fastener is sold in multiples of 100 units per order.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications including HVAC duct assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, equipment panel attachment, and general sheet metal joining tasks. Tradespeople in HVAC installation, electrical rough-in, and plumbing support framing commonly use this size and style. The flat head countersinks flush with the work surface, making it appropriate where a low-profile finish is required on exposed panels or trim work. Its compact 0.25-inch length makes it ideal for thin-stack assemblies where fastener penetration must be controlled.

Key Features

• Type AB self-tapping point cuts threads directly into sheet metal without pre-tapping
• Flat head profile sits flush with the work surface for clean, low-profile installations
• No. 2 Phillips drive compatible with standard power drivers and hand screwdrivers
• Zinc-plated Grade 1016-1024 steel construction for strength and corrosion resistance
• Meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, ASME B18.6.4, and SAE J933 standards
• Sold in quantities of 100 units minimum per order

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 flat head Phillips Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for thin-gauge steel, light aluminum, and similar sheet metal substrates commonly found in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and sheet metal panels.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a No. 2 Phillips bit in a power driver or manual screwdriver. Always select the correct screw length to avoid excessive penetration through the workpiece. When working on electrical enclosures or energized equipment, de-energize and lock out the circuit before fastening or removing panels per NFPA 70 requirements. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the formed thread in thin-gauge material.
