Value Collection MP33829-5 No. 8 Self Drilling Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP33829-5 is a No. 8 self-drilling screw engineered for fast, reliable fastening without the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole. Built from grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener provides corrosion resistance suitable for general-purpose indoor and light-duty applications. The hex washer head pairs with a hex drive for positive torque transfer and a secure, flush-bearing seat. The No. 2 drill point cuts cleanly through sheet metal and light structural materials. Length under head measures 1-1/4 inches. Installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general contractors in both residential and light commercial settings.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC duct assembly, electrical enclosure work, metal framing, and general sheet metal fabrication. The hex washer head style provides a wide bearing surface that resists pull-through on thinner gauge materials. The zinc-plated steel construction meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 standards, making it a code-compliant choice for a wide range of trade applications. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 50 units per order.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point allows self-tapping entry into sheet metal without a pilot hole
• Hex washer head provides a wide bearing surface to reduce pull-through on thin gauge material
• Hex drive delivers positive engagement and high torque transfer
• Grade 1016/1024 steel construction meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 standards
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in general-purpose applications
• 1-1/4 inch length under head suits standard sheet metal and light structural fastening tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 8 self-drilling screw suitable for sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light structural metal fabrication applications where a hex washer head and No. 2 drill point are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, or electricians using a hex-drive bit and standard power drill or impact driver. Ensure the mating material gauge is within the rated capacity of a No. 2 drill point before driving. Do not overdrive — the hex washer head seats directly against the material surface, and overdriving will strip the fastener or deform thin sheet stock. Follow applicable code requirements for fastener spacing and material compatibility on the specific application.
