Value Collection A98105 Sheet Metal Screw Size 8 Torx T15

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A98105 is a No. 8 sheet metal screw with a button head profile and Torx T15 drive, sold in a pack of 50. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, this screw delivers corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The Type A point self-pierces light-gauge sheet metal without a pilot hole in many installations. Length under head measures 1 inch. The low-profile button head sits close to the work surface and distributes clamping load across a wider bearing area. Electricians, HVAC techs, and sheet metal fabricators commonly stock this fastener for panel work, ductwork attachment, and equipment enclosure assembly.

This screw is used in light-gauge sheet metal assembly across residential and commercial applications. Typical uses include securing HVAC duct panels, electrical junction box covers, equipment enclosures, and thin metal brackets. The Torx T15 drive reduces cam-out compared to Phillips or slotted drives, which matters in production or tight-access installations. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure, such as rooftop equipment, outdoor enclosures, and coastal installations. Each pack contains 50 screws.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Torx T15 drive reduces cam-out during installation
• Type A point self-starts in light-gauge sheet metal
• Button head profile provides low-profile seating and wide load distribution
• 1 inch length under head suits typical panel and enclosure thicknesses
• Pack of 50 for shop stock or job-site use

Compatibility

Designed for use with light-gauge sheet metal applications including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and equipment panels where a No. 8 Torx-drive sheet metal screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a T15 Torx bit driver or bit-tipped power tool. Confirm material gauge is appropriate for the Type A point before driving without a pilot hole; harder or thicker stock may require a pilot. Follow applicable codes such as NEC or SMACNA standards when fastening electrical or HVAC enclosures. Do not overtorque, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling when driven at high RPM without lubrication.
