Value Collection 95540 No.8 Pan Head Phillips Self Drilling Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 95540 is a No. 8 pan head self drilling screw with a Phillips drive, designed for fastening into sheet metal, light steel, and similar substrates without a pre-drilled pilot hole. It features a No. 2 drill point that cuts its own mating threads on entry, reducing installation steps in fabrication and field assembly. Constructed from Grade 410 stainless steel, it offers solid corrosion resistance for both interior and exterior applications. The 0.5 inch length under head measurement suits thin-gauge material stacking. Licensed trades and general contractors rely on this fastener type for metal panel work, HVAC ductwork framing, electrical enclosures, and light structural assembly.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial applications where corrosion resistance and reliable thread engagement are required. Typical uses include sheet metal duct assembly, metal stud framing, roofing panels, electrical enclosures, and similar light-gauge steel connections. The pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface than a bugle or flat head, making it a preferred choice where flush seating is not required. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits and impact drivers commonly carried on the job site.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point eliminates the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole in light-gauge steel
• Grade 410 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for interior and exterior environments
• Pan head profile offers a wide bearing surface for secure clamping without countersinking
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 bits and power drivers
• 0.5 inch length under head suits thin sheet metal and light-gauge panel fastening
• No. 8 screw size is a common standard dimension for sheet metal and HVAC duct applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard self drilling fastener for light-gauge sheet metal, metal stud framing, HVAC ductwork, and similar thin-material applications requiring a No. 8 pan head Phillips drive screw.

Installation Notes

Self drilling screws are installed by licensed sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors using a power drill or impact driver set to an appropriate torque clutch setting to avoid overdriving. Verify material gauge is within the rated capacity of the No. 2 drill point before driving. Follow applicable installation codes including SMACNA duct construction standards for HVAC applications and NEC requirements for electrical enclosure fastening. Wear appropriate eye protection during installation as metal shavings are produced by the self-drilling action.
