Value Collection 0810U Size 8 Round Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0810U is a size 8 round head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin-gauge sheet metal and light fabrication work. It features a Type U point for self-starting entry into pre-punched or drilled holes without requiring a pilot hole in many applications. Manufactured from Grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw offers corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light-duty applications. The 0.625-inch length is measured under the head, conforming to ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 dimensional standards. This fastener is a standard trade-supply consumable used by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, electricians, and general mechanical contractors.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial applications involving ductwork assembly, electrical enclosures, junction box covers, equipment panels, and general light-gauge sheet metal joining. Its round head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface appropriate for visible or semi-exposed installations. The zinc-plated steel construction meets AISI 1016 material specifications, making it a reliable choice for dry or climate-controlled interior environments where mild corrosion resistance is required.

Key Features

• Type U point design for self-starting fastening in pre-punched or drilled sheet metal
• Round head profile provides broad clamping surface with low-profile appearance
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in dry interior environments
• Grade 1016-1024 steel construction meets AISI 1016 material standards
• Conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 dimensional standards
• Length measured under head at 0.625 inches per inch measurement convention

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for size 8 round head sheet metal screw applications in light-gauge metal assemblies conforming to ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, or electricians using a standard Phillips or slotted screwdriver or power driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the head. Ensure the receiving material is properly supported and that hole size matches the Type U point requirements before driving. For electrical enclosure applications, follow NEC guidelines for fastener use in listed assemblies. Avoid overtightening, which can distort thin-gauge sheet metal or damage the zinc-plated finish.
