Value Collection MPA98103 8 Button Head Torx Sheet Metal Screw 10pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPA98103 is a size 8 button head sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge metal assemblies. It features a T15 Torx drive and a Type A point for self-starting penetration into sheet metal without a pilot hole. Manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel, this screw resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments. The length under head measures 0.5 inches. This fastener is packaged in a quantity of 10 and is suited for HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general tradespeople working with sheet metal enclosures, panels, and brackets.

This screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications where corrosion resistance is required. Typical install scenarios include securing HVAC ductwork access panels, electrical enclosure covers, and plumbing chase covers. The button head profile sits low and smooth, making it a practical choice where a flush, snag-free surface finish is needed. The Type A point threads into sheet metal without pre-tapping.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a T15 Torx driver or bit. Ensure the base material is properly supported before driving to avoid deformation of light-gauge sheet metal. When used in electrical enclosures, verify compliance with applicable NEC requirements for fastener type and spacing. Do not overtighten, as stainless steel fasteners can gall if driven at excessive speed or torque.
