Value Collection C96488 No.8 Self Drilling Screw 2in 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C96488 is a No. 8 self-drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in light-gauge metal and similar trade applications. Featuring a hex washer head and hex drive, this screw delivers consistent torque transfer and a broad bearing surface that resists pull-through. The No. 3 drill point eliminates the need for a pilot hole, cutting through material cleanly in a single operation. Manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish, it resists corrosion in typical indoor and light-exposure installations. Each package contains 25 screws with a 2-inch length under head measurement.

Self-drilling screws of this type are widely used in HVAC ductwork assembly, metal framing, electrical panel and enclosure work, and general sheet-metal fabrication. The hex washer head and hex drive combination is compatible with standard hex-tip power drivers and nut drivers, making installation fast in production or service environments. The zinc-plated finish suits dry and semi-exposed interior applications common in mechanical and electrical rough-in work.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 self-drilling screw suitable for light-gauge steel, sheet metal ductwork, metal studs, and similar trade fastening applications where a No. 3 drill point and 2-inch length under head are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet-metal workers using a hex-tip power driver or nut driver at the appropriate RPM for the base material thickness. Power down all equipment and de-energize panels before fastening near live electrical components. Do not overtorque hex washer head screws, as doing so can strip the drill point or distort the bearing surface. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes for fastener type and spacing requirements.
