Value Collection 696366PR Sheet Metal Screw Size 8 Pan Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 696366PR is a number 8, pan head, slotted sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge sheet metal, thin-plate assemblies, and HVAC ductwork components. It features a Type A point for self-starting penetration into pre-drilled or punched sheet metal without requiring a separate tapping step. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this screw measures 0.375 inches in length under the head. It is a standard utility fastener used across HVAC, electrical enclosure, and general sheet metal fabrication work.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a small-diameter, short-length fastener is needed to join thin metal panels, brackets, or duct sections. The pan head profile provides a broad bearing surface and low-profile sit, making it a practical choice for flush or near-flush assemblies. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted power bits. This item is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Number 8 thread size for light-gauge sheet metal fastening
• Type A point for self-starting penetration into pre-drilled or punched holes
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface and low-profile sit
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and power bits
• Zinc finish over Grade 2 steel for basic corrosion protection
• 0.375-inch length under head suits thin sheet metal and light-plate assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Type A sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal applications including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general metal fabrication assemblies requiring a number 8 pan head slotted fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a flat-blade screwdriver or matching slotted power bit. Pre-drill or punch the pilot hole to the appropriate diameter for a number 8 Type A screw before driving. Do not overdrive, as stripping is possible in thin-gauge material. De-energize any electrical enclosure or system before fastening components near live conductors.
