Value Collection 0810KSW No. 8 Self Drilling Screw 5/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0810KSW is a No. 8 self drilling screw with a hex washer head and slotted drive, designed for fast, reliable fastening without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The No. 2 drill point bores through substrate and threads simultaneously, reducing installation steps in metal-to-metal and metal-to-wood applications. Built from grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw resists corrosion in standard indoor and light-duty outdoor environments. At 5/8 inches length under head, it suits thin-gauge sheet metal, light structural connections, and equipment assembly tasks. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians are the primary installers.

This screw is suited for light commercial and residential construction, HVAC duct fabrication, electrical enclosure assembly, and general sheet metal work where a self-tapping, self-drilling fastener is required. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface that distributes clamping load and resists pull-through on thin materials. The slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade drivers and is compatible with manual and low-speed power drivers. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces per package, making it practical for job-site stock and bulk installation workflows.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point self drills through substrate — no pilot hole required
• Hex washer head provides wide bearing surface and resists pull-through
• Slotted drive works with standard flat-blade manual and power drivers
• Grade 1016/1024 steel construction meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 standards
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for standard service environments
• 5/8 inches length under head suited to thin-gauge metal and light-duty connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use self drilling screw for No. 8 fastener applications in thin-gauge sheet metal, light structural steel, and similar substrates where a No. 2 drill point is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, electricians, or general contractors. Use a flat-blade driver or hex-drive bit sized for a No. 8 hex washer head at controlled torque to avoid stripping the slotted recess or over-driving through thin material. Verify substrate thickness is appropriate for the No. 2 drill point before installation. Follow applicable codes including SMACNA standards for duct work and NEC requirements for electrical enclosure fastening where applicable.
