Value Collection 09692666 No. 8 Self Drilling Screw 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 09692666 is a No. 8 self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in metal-to-metal and light metal-to-substrate applications. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface that resists pull-through, while the hex drive delivers positive bit engagement with minimal cam-out. At 0.5 inches in length under the head, this screw suits thin-gauge sheet metal work common in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light structural assemblies. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it offers baseline corrosion resistance suitable for interior and sheltered installations. Each package contains 50 pieces.

This screw is well-suited for trade applications where self-tapping into sheet metal without a pre-drilled pilot hole is required. The No. 2 drill point bores through light-gauge steel efficiently, making it a common choice for HVAC duct assembly, electrical panel fabrication, and general sheet metal work. Installers in mechanical, electrical, and light construction trades rely on this screw size and drive type for repetitive production fastening with standard hex-bit drivers and nut drivers.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point eliminates the need for a pilot hole in light-gauge sheet metal
• Hex washer head provides a wide bearing surface to resist pull-through
• Hex drive allows use with standard hex-bit drivers and nut runners
• Grade 2 steel construction delivers consistent mechanical performance
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for interior and sheltered environments
• 50-piece package quantity suits production and service work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 self drilling screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal fastening applications typical of HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical trade work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a hex-bit driver or nut driver sized to the hex washer head. Apply steady, consistent pressure when driving to allow the drill point to engage before the threads bite. Avoid overdriving, as the hex washer head can deform thin sheet metal if excess torque is applied. Always verify that the base material gauge is appropriate for a No. 2 drill point before use.
