Value Collection MP33829-6 No. 8 Self Drilling Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP33829-6 is a No. 8 self drilling screw with a hex washer head and hex drive, designed for fast, reliable fastening without a pre-drilled pilot hole. Built from grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw delivers solid corrosion resistance in typical interior and light exterior applications. The 1.5-inch length under head and No. 2 drill point make it well suited for sheet metal-to-sheet metal and sheet metal-to-light structural connections. Licensed trades and general contractors install this style of fastener in HVAC ductwork, light gauge framing, electrical enclosures, and equipment panels. It meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 standards.

This screw is a standard fastener for light-gauge metal assembly work found across residential and commercial jobsites. Common applications include HVAC sheet metal duct fabrication, electrical panel and enclosure assembly, roofing and metal building cladding attachment, and light structural steel framing. The hex washer head provides a built-in bearing surface that distributes load and reduces the chance of the head pulling through thin material. The hex drive allows use with a standard hex bit or nut driver, which is the preferred tool for production fastening in sheet metal work.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point drills its own hole in light-gauge metal, eliminating pre-drilling
• Hex washer head provides an integrated bearing surface for load distribution
• Hex drive compatible with standard nut drivers and hex bit drivers
• Grade 1016-1024 steel construction meets AISI, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 standards
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for interior and light exterior use
• 1.5-inch length under head suits common sheet metal and light structural fastening depths

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 self drilling screw for light-gauge sheet metal and general metal fastening applications across HVAC, electrical, and construction trades.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, electricians, or general contractors using a hex bit driver or nut driver. De-energize and lock out any electrical enclosure or equipment before fastening into panels or live assemblies. Apply consistent, moderate driving pressure to avoid stripping the drill point or camming out the drive. Do not overdrive; the hex washer head should seat flush without deforming the base material.
