Value Collection 0816KPO No. 8 Self Drilling Screw 100pc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0816KPO is a No. 8 self drilling screw with an oval head and Phillips drive, manufactured from 1016-1024 grade steel with a zinc-plated finish. It measures 1 inch overall length and features a No. 2 drill point, allowing it to cut its own mating thread into light-gauge sheet metal and similar substrates without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The zinc-plated coating provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance for general indoor and light-duty outdoor applications. This fastener meets AISI 1016, ANSI B18.6.4, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 standards, making it a recognized option for professional trade use.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal assembly, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general fabrication work where a flush-to-slightly-raised decorative head profile is acceptable. The oval head sits slightly above the surface, offering a finished appearance while still seating firmly. It is commonly installed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors in both residential and light commercial settings. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point self-taps without a pilot hole in light-gauge metal
• Oval head with Phillips drive for a clean, slightly raised finish profile
• 1016-1024 grade steel construction for reliable fastener strength
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in general-duty applications
• Meets ANSI B18.6.4, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 standards
• Inch measurement system; 1 inch overall length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 self drilling screw suitable for light-gauge sheet metal and general fabrication applications where an oval head Phillips drive fastener is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips No. 2 screwdriver bit and a variable-speed drill or driver. Verify substrate thickness is within the capacity of a No. 2 drill point before driving. Do not overdrive the fastener, as the oval head can deform or the drill point can pass through thin material and lose clamping force. Always follow applicable codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and load requirements.
