Value Collection 999018 No. 8 Oval Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 999018 is a No. 8 oval head Phillips sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin-gauge metal assemblies in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. This screw measures 1-1/2 inches under the head and is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, providing strong corrosion resistance in demanding or moisture-exposed environments. The oval head profile sits slightly above the surface for a finished look while the Phillips drive allows for fast installation with standard hand or power tools. Each package contains 10 screws.

These screws are well suited for securing sheet metal panels, junction boxes, ductwork components, equipment enclosures, and similar thin-metal assemblies found in residential and light commercial mechanical and electrical systems. Grade 316 stainless steel makes them appropriate for coastal environments, rooftop equipment, wet utility spaces, and other corrosive conditions where carbon steel fasteners would degrade. HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers commonly reach for this screw type when replacing or securing sheet metal housings during service calls.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet or coastal environments
• No. 8 thread size suitable for standard sheet metal gauge applications
• 1-1/2 inch length measured under the head for consistent bite in thin-gauge assemblies
• Oval head profile provides a low-profile finished appearance above the work surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard screwdrivers and power drivers
• Sold in a 10-piece package for convenient service and repair use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 8 oval head Phillips sheet metal screw for use in residential and commercial HVAC, electrical, and plumbing panel and enclosure applications where a Grade 316 stainless steel fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified HVAC technicians, electricians, or plumbers using a Phillips-head screwdriver or compatible power driver bit. Power down and de-energize all equipment before accessing enclosures or panel covers where these screws will be used. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in heavier gauge material is recommended to prevent metal deformation and ensure proper thread engagement. Follow applicable NEC or local mechanical codes for fastener requirements on equipment enclosures.
