Value Collection 4.8A12BS Sheet Metal Screw Size 8 Torx

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4.8A12BS is a size 8 button head sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in sheet metal applications. It features a Torx T15 drive, which provides better torque transfer and reduces cam-out compared to Phillips or slotted drive styles. The screw measures 0.5 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel for corrosion resistance. The Type A point allows for self-starting engagement into pre-drilled or punched sheet metal. This fastener is appropriate for use by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and other trades working with sheet metal assemblies.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal work in residential and commercial applications. Common uses include securing ductwork panels, electrical enclosures, equipment housings, and other thin-metal assemblies where a low-profile button head is needed to minimize protrusion. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it a reliable choice in environments with moderate moisture exposure. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

Install with a T15 Torx bit driver or compatible power tool set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid stripping the drive or overdriving the fastener. Ensure the sheet metal has been properly punched or pre-drilled per the fastener manufacturer's guidance before driving. Wear appropriate PPE when working with sheet metal edges. Minimum order quantity is 10 pieces; do not order in quantities below this threshold.
