Value Collection 271 Sheet Metal Screw No. 8 Phillips 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 271 is a No. 8 sheet metal screw with a Sems oval head and Phillips drive, sold in a pack of 50. The Sems design integrates a captive washer under the head, which helps distribute clamping load and reduces the chance of the washer spinning or getting lost during installation. These screws measure 0.625 inches in length under the head and carry a phosphate finish, which provides a base layer of corrosion resistance and improves paint adhesion in coated assemblies. They are sized in the inch measurement system and are a standard fastener choice for light-gauge sheet metal work across HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications.

These fasteners are used wherever No. 8 sheet metal screws are specified in residential and commercial trade work. Common applications include securing sheet metal ductwork panels, attaching electrical enclosure covers, fastening HVAC cabinet components, and general light-gauge metal assembly tasks. The Phillips drive makes them compatible with standard power drivers and manual screwdrivers found on any job site. The phosphate finish suits indoor and protected-enclosure environments where bare metal fasteners are acceptable.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals. Always use the correct Phillips bit size to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Exercise care not to overtighten, as light-gauge sheet metal can strip or deform under excessive torque. Ensure the work piece is secure before driving to achieve proper thread engagement.
