Value Collection KP76648 No. 8 Flat Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP76648 is a No. 8 flat head Phillips sheet metal screw measuring 0.5 inches in length. This fastener features a countersunk flat head profile designed to sit flush with or below the surface of the workpiece when fully driven. The phosphate finish provides a base level of corrosion resistance and improves paint adhesion, making these screws a practical choice for general sheet metal assembly in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical trade applications. Sold in a pack of 25 units, this fastener is suited for light-gauge metal joining tasks encountered during equipment installation and service work.

These screws are commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC installations for securing sheet metal panels, junction box covers, duct access doors, and equipment enclosures. Electricians and HVAC technicians reach for No. 8 sheet metal screws when fastening thin-gauge steel components where a flush-mount head is required. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard magnetic bit drivers used in everyday trade fieldwork.

Key Features

• Flat head countersunk profile seats flush with sheet metal surfaces
• No. 8 diameter with 0.5 inch length suited for light-gauge metal applications
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power driver bits
• Phosphate finish for corrosion resistance and improved paint adhesion
• Pack of 25 for job-site convenience and reduced restocking frequency

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose sheet metal fastener suitable for light-gauge steel panels, enclosure covers, and duct components commonly found in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical trade installations.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general mechanical contractors using a Phillips bit driver or drill with clutch control. Pilot holes are recommended when working with heavier gauge metals to prevent material distortion and bit cam-out. Always de-energize electrical equipment and follow applicable NEC or local code requirements before opening panel covers or enclosures for fastener service work.
