Value Collection KP61443 No. 8 Hex Self Drilling Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP61443 is a No. 8 self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in metal-to-metal and light-gauge metal applications. Featuring a hex head and hex drive, this screw eliminates the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole, saving time on the job. The No. 2 drill point bores through material and threads in a single step. Made from steel with an electro zinc-plated finish, it provides corrosion resistance suited to general interior and protected exterior applications. Each screw measures 2 inches under the head. Sold in a pack of 100, this fastener is a standard choice for HVAC panel assembly, ductwork, light structural work, and sheet metal fabrication.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial applications where sheet metal, thin-gauge steel, or similar materials require a secure threaded connection without pre-drilling. Common install scenarios include HVAC equipment panels, duct flanges, electrical enclosures, and metal framing. The hex drive allows use with standard nut drivers and power tools, making it efficient for production and service work alike. The 100-piece pack quantity supports both stocking and job-site use.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point bores and threads in a single pass — no pilot hole required
• Hex head and hex drive accept standard nut drivers and impact drivers
• Steel construction with electro zinc-plated finish for general corrosion resistance
• 2-inch length under head for adequate thread engagement in typical sheet metal applications
• No. 8 screw size suits light-gauge metal fastening in HVAC, electrical, and sheet metal work
• Sold in a 100-piece pack for job-site and shop stocking convenience

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose self drilling screw for light-gauge sheet metal, metal panels, and similar materials where a No. 8 hex head fastener with a No. 2 drill point is specified.

Installation Notes

Self drilling screws are typically installed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, and electricians using a nut driver or power drill with the appropriate hex bit. Verify the drill point is rated for the material gauge before driving. Apply consistent, steady pressure to allow the drill point to engage cleanly — excessive speed or force can strip the point before full thread engagement. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA duct construction standards or NEC enclosure requirements when fastening equipment panels or electrical enclosures.
