Value Collection 272 No. 8 Sems Oval Head Sheet Metal Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 272 is a No. 8 sheet metal screw with a Sems oval head and Phillips drive, designed for secure fastening in sheet metal and light-gauge steel applications. The Sems design integrates a captive washer beneath the head, which helps distribute clamping load and reduces the risk of loosening from vibration. Finished in phosphate for moderate corrosion resistance and improved paint adhesion, this screw measures 0.75 inches in length under the head. Sold in a pack of 50, it suits contractors, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal fabricators who need consistent, reliable hardware in volume.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial sheet metal work, including duct assembly, equipment panels, junction box covers, and similar thin-gauge metal fastening tasks. The oval head profile sits slightly above the surface for a finished appearance while the captive washer seats flush against the material. Phillips drive allows use with standard bit sets common on most job sites.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC sheet metal technicians, electricians, and general contractors using standard No. 2 Phillips bit drivers. Pre-drilling is not typically required in light-gauge sheet metal but may be needed in heavier stock to prevent deformation. Ensure the mating material thickness is appropriate for No. 8 thread engagement before driving. Do not overdrive, as sheet metal threads can strip in thin-gauge material.
