Value Collection 696367PR Pan Head Slotted Sheet Metal Screw No. 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 696367PR is a No. 8 pan head slotted sheet metal screw designed for light-gauge metal fastening applications. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw measures 0.5 inches in length under the head and features a Type AB point for easy thread engagement in pre-punched or drilled sheet metal. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. It is a utility-grade fastener suited for HVAC, electrical panel, ductwork, and general sheet metal assembly work where a reliable, economical screw is needed.

This fastener is appropriate for residential and light commercial sheet metal assembly tasks. Common applications include securing duct sections, attaching cover panels, fastening electrical junction box knockouts, and general metal-to-metal assembly where thin-gauge material is involved. The Type AB point type allows it to thread into existing holes or self-start in softer sheet metal without a separate tapping step. These screws are sold in minimum order quantities of 100 units, making them suitable for bulk service-vehicle stock or job-site supply.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a flat-blade screwdriver or appropriate bit driver. Power down and de-energize any electrical enclosure or HVAC unit before fastening covers or panels. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the thread in thin-gauge material. Confirm screw length and thread size match the material stack being joined before installation.
