Value Collection 696369PR 8 Pan Head Slotted Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 696369PR is a No. 8 pan head sheet metal screw designed for light-gauge metal fastening applications. It features a slotted drive and Type AB point, which combines a sharp tip with coarse threads for fast starting and secure engagement in thin sheet metal, steel tubing, and similar materials. The screw measures 0.75 inches in length under the head. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, it provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light-duty installations. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

This screw is used across a broad range of trade applications including HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, plumbing bracket attachment, and general sheet metal work. The pan head profile sits low against the material surface and distributes clamping load evenly, making it suitable for joining thin-gauge panels where a flat bearing surface is needed. The Type AB point reduces the need for pre-drilling in many light-gauge applications, speeding up assembly time on the job.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 Type AB pan head sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel sheet metal fabrication and assembly work across HVAC, electrical, and general metalworking applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, electricians, or plumbers using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit with a power driver. Ensure the mating material is secured and clamped before driving to prevent movement. Do not overtighten, as over-driving can strip the thread engagement in light-gauge material. Always verify screw length is appropriate for the combined thickness of the materials being joined.
