Value Collection 95573 No.8 Self Drilling Screw 1in 410SS

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 95573 is a No. 8 self drilling screw with a hex washer head and hex drive, designed to drill its own pilot hole and fasten in a single operation. Built from grade 410 stainless steel, this screw delivers strong corrosion resistance suitable for demanding indoor and outdoor installations. The 1-inch length under head and No. 2 drill point make it well suited for light-gauge metal-to-metal and metal-to-substrate fastening. HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, plumbers, and general trade installers use this type of fastener to secure ductwork, brackets, panels, and enclosures without pre-drilling.

This screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications where a self-tapping fastener is needed in stainless steel to resist rust and corrosion. Typical install scenarios include attaching sheet metal duct sections, securing junction box covers, fastening equipment panels, and general trade assembly where a hex drive and hex washer head provide positive tool engagement and a wide bearing surface. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per order.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point allows the screw to pierce and tap its own hole in light-gauge metal without pre-drilling
• Hex washer head provides a wide bearing surface that resists pull-through on thin sheet metal
• Hex drive delivers positive bit engagement and reduces cam-out during installation
• Grade 410 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance for damp or outdoor environments
• 1-inch length under head suits standard light-gauge metal fastening applications
• Inch measurement system with length specified as length under head for consistent sizing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 self drilling screw for use in light-gauge metal fastening applications common in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general sheet metal work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, or general trade professionals using a hex-head power driver or impact driver. Ensure the substrate material thickness is appropriate for the No. 2 drill point before driving. Do not overdrive the screw, as overtightening can strip the threads or distort thin sheet metal panels. Always follow applicable building and mechanical codes for fastener type and spacing requirements.
