Value Collection 890 Sheet Metal Screw No.8 Phillips

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 890 is a No. 8 sheet metal screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in light-gauge sheet metal and similar thin-material applications. Featuring a Phillips drive and a black phosphate finish, this screw measures 0.5 inches in length under the head. The black phosphate coating provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces galling during installation. Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople during panel assembly, ductwork attachment, and equipment enclosure work.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a compact, No. 8 fastener is required. Common uses include securing sheet metal duct sections, attaching electrical panel knockouts, fastening junction box covers, and other thin-metal assembly tasks. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard bit sets and power drivers, making it practical for high-volume production or field repair work. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per pack.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers. Always power down or de-energize equipment before fastening into electrical enclosures or HVAC panels. Use a Phillips-head bit matched to the screw size to prevent cam-out and strip damage. Follow applicable codes, including SMACNA guidelines for ductwork and NEC requirements for electrical enclosures, when selecting fastener type and placement.
