Value Collection 5.8A112RS Sheet Metal Screw 8 Round Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5.8A112RS is a number 8 sheet metal screw with a round head, slotted drive, and Type A point. It measures 1-1/2 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, providing solid corrosion resistance in wet, coastal, or chemically active environments. The Type A point is a standard tapping point designed to self-start in light-gauge sheet metal, thin steel, and similar materials without a pre-drilled pilot hole in many applications. This fastener is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package, making it suited for production work, service van stocking, and job-lot purchasing.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, plumbers, and electricians to fasten light-gauge metal panels, ductwork, junction boxes, equipment covers, and access doors. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver or flat-tip bit, and the round head provides a low-profile bearing surface on metal substrates. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for outdoor equipment enclosures, rooftop units, and other installations where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor service conditions
• Type A point self-starts in light-gauge sheet metal without requiring a separate tapping operation
• Round head profile distributes clamping load evenly across thin metal surfaces
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and flat-tip power bits
• Sold in 100-piece minimum quantities to support production and stocking needs
• Inch-system sizing for direct compatibility with standard US trade hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard number 8 Type A sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge steel, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication and service applications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal mechanics using a flat-blade screwdriver or flat-tip bit driver. De-energize all electrical equipment and shut off any HVAC system before fastening panels or covers. Avoid over-torquing, which can strip the material being fastened or shear the screw shank in thin-gauge metal. Ensure the workpiece is properly supported and aligned before driving the fastener.
