Value Collection 40775 No. 8 Pan Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40775 is a No. 8 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal materials in light-duty assembly and fabrication applications. It features a square drive recess, a Type AB point for clean thread engagement in pre-drilled or self-piercing applications, and a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. The screw measures 0.5 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it suited for high-volume fastening work on sheet metal panels, brackets, ductwork, and similar assemblies.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC duct fabrication, light sheet metal assembly, electrical enclosure installation, and general metal fabrication. The pan head profile sits flush against the workpiece surface without cutting into it, distributing clamping load over a wider area. The square drive reduces cam-out during installation, which is particularly useful in production environments or confined spaces where controlled torque is important. Installers in the HVAC, electrical, and general trades will find this a standard consumable fastener for everyday sheet metal work.

Key Features

• No. 8 thread size for general sheet metal fastening applications
• Pan head profile provides broad bearing surface without countersinking
• Square drive reduces cam-out during high-volume or power-tool installation
• Type AB point for reliable thread engagement in thin metal
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor applications
• Grade 2 steel construction for standard light-duty fastening strength

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 Type AB pan head sheet metal screw suitable for use in thin-gauge sheet metal assemblies, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar light-duty metal fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal fabricators using a square-drive bit and a power screwdriver or hand driver. Ensure the base material is properly supported and, where required, pre-drill or punch a pilot hole to the appropriate size for a No. 8 Type AB screw. Do not overtighten, as thin sheet metal can strip or deform under excessive torque. Follow applicable codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and edge distance in structural or code-governed assemblies.
