Value Collection 0812KSW No.8 Self Drilling Screw 3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0812KSW is a No. 8 self-drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening without a pre-drilled pilot hole. Built with a hex washer head and slotted drive, this screw seats firmly and resists cam-out under power or hand tool use. The 2-point drill tip cuts through material cleanly before the thread engages, reducing installation time on metal-to-metal and metal-to-substrate applications. Manufactured from 1016/1024 grade steel with a zinc-plated finish, it delivers solid corrosion resistance for general-purpose interior and light exterior use. The length under head measures 3/4 inch. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals rely on this fastener for structural and sheet metal work across HVAC, electrical, and light construction applications.

This self-drilling screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure mounting, and general sheet metal fastening tasks. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface that distributes clamping load and reduces pull-through risk in thinner substrates. The slotted drive allows use with both flathead screwdrivers and hex-head nut drivers or bit drivers, making it adaptable to field conditions. These fasteners are packaged in quantities of 1 with a minimum order of 100 units, appropriate for job-site and shop use where bulk supply is practical.

Key Features

• No. 8 size, 2-point self-drilling tip eliminates the need for a pilot hole
• Hex washer head provides wide bearing surface and positive seating
• Slotted drive compatible with flathead screwdrivers and nut drivers
• 1016/1024 grade steel construction for consistent tensile and shear strength
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in general-use environments
• Meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style self-drilling fastener for light-gauge sheet metal and related substrates common in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light structural assemblies.

Installation Notes

Self-drilling screws of this type are typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a hex-head nut driver, bit driver, or manual screwdriver. Ensure the substrate material gauge is within the rated capacity of a No. 2 drill point before driving. Apply steady, consistent pressure to allow the drill tip to penetrate cleanly before the thread engages, and avoid over-driving, which can strip the head or distort the substrate. Follow applicable installation guidelines under SMACNA standards or the NEC where fasteners are used in electrical enclosure assemblies.
