Value Collection 95574 No. 8 Self Drilling Screw 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 95574 is a No. 8 self drilling screw with a hex washer head and hex drive, sized at 1-1/4 inches length under head. Manufactured from Grade 410 stainless steel, this fastener combines corrosion resistance with the hardness needed to drill and tap its own hole in light-gauge metal without a pilot hole. The No. 2 drill point is sized to match the No. 8 thread diameter, making it a standard choice for sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, metal framing, and equipment enclosure assembly. Each package contains 50 screws.

This screw is well suited for light-gauge steel-to-steel fastening applications commonly found in residential and commercial HVAC duct assembly, metal roofing, metal stud framing, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal work. The hex washer head provides a bearing surface that distributes clamping load and resists pull-through. The hex drive allows installation with a standard hex bit or nut driver, making it compatible with the cordless drivers and screw guns used daily by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians.

Key Features

• Grade 410 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for interior and moderate-exposure applications
• No. 2 drill point drills and taps without a pilot hole in light-gauge metal
• Hex washer head distributes load and resists pull-through on sheet metal
• Hex drive accepts standard hex bits and nut drivers for fast power-tool installation
• 1-1/4 inch length under head suits common light-gauge sheet metal fastening thicknesses
• Sold in a 50-piece package for jobsite or shop use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 self drilling screw for light-gauge metal-to-metal fastening applications where Grade 410 stainless steel and a hex washer head configuration are specified.

Installation Notes

Self drilling screws of this type are installed by HVAC sheet metal workers, electricians, and general contractors using a hex-bit-equipped cordless drill or screw gun set to an appropriate clutch torque to avoid stripping the head or over-driving through thin material. The No. 2 drill point is rated for light-gauge steel; do not use on material gauges heavier than the drill point rating, as this will cause point failure before threading begins. Wear eye protection during installation, as metal swarf is produced at the drill point. No pilot hole is required.
