Value Collection 38310 No. 8 Oval Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38310 is a No. 8 oval head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, ductwork, housings, and related light-gauge assemblies. The Phillips drive allows for fast installation with a standard driver or drill. At 1 inch overall length, this screw is suited for shallow-depth applications where a flush or low-profile finish is required. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, the 38310 offers corrosion resistance appropriate for interior mechanical and electrical enclosure work. Sold in a package of 50 units.

These sheet metal screws are commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors when securing sheet metal panels, junction box covers, equipment access doors, and duct connections. The oval head profile sits slightly above the surface, providing a clean finished appearance where aesthetics matter alongside function. The zinc plating makes these screws suitable for dry and low-moisture environments typical of interior mechanical rooms and residential installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a Phillips-head screwdriver or power driver set to appropriate clutch torque to avoid stripping the drive. Pre-drilling or self-tapping into the workpiece may be required depending on metal gauge and screw type. Ensure the mating material thickness is appropriate for the selected screw length to achieve full thread engagement without breakthrough in sensitive areas.
