Value Collection 32084 No. 8 Pan Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32084 is a No. 8 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar light-gauge sheet metal assemblies. It features a Phillips drive and a Type AB point, which combines the thread-cutting action of a Type A screw with the starting ease of a blunt pilot point. The fastener is fabricated from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance in dry interior applications. Length under head measures 3/4 inches. This SKU is sold in minimum order quantities of 50 pieces.

These screws are commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical panel and enclosure work, and general sheet metal fabrication. The pan head profile sits flush to slightly raised against the material surface, distributing clamping load across a wider area than a flat or oval head. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits. Typical applications include securing duct flanges, attaching cover panels, and fastening thin steel or aluminum sheet stock.

Key Features

• Type AB point for easy starting in pre-punched or self-pierced sheet metal
• Pan head profile provides broad clamping surface on thin-gauge material
• Phillips drive compatible with No. 2 Phillips bit or screwdriver
• Grade 2 steel construction for standard-duty fastening applications
• Zinc finish offers basic corrosion resistance in interior dry environments
• 3/4 inch length under head suits light-gauge single and double-layer sheet metal joints

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 Type AB pan head sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel and aluminum sheet metal assemblies typical in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a No. 2 Phillips bit in a hand or power screwdriver. Pre-punching or pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended for harder or thicker gauge stock to prevent material distortion. De-energize any electrical enclosure or system before fastening covers or panels. Avoid over-torquing, which can strip the thread form in thin-gauge material.
