Value Collection MSC-74125063 No. 8 Self Drilling Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-74125063 is a No. 8 self drilling screw designed for direct fastening into metal without a pre-drilled pilot hole. It features a flat head profile with a Phillips drive and a No. 2 drill point, allowing the fastener to cut its own mating thread and hole in a single operation. The overall length is 1 inch. Constructed from Grade 410 stainless steel, this screw delivers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding environments while maintaining the hardness needed to penetrate sheet metal and light structural materials. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

This screw is used in light sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork assembly, metal roofing, and general construction applications where a flush-seating flat head is required. The self drilling tip eliminates the need for a separate pilot drill step, making it practical for high-volume field installation on metal substrates. Grade 410 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for both interior and exterior applications where moisture exposure is a concern.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point cuts pilot hole and drives in a single pass
• Flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits
• Grade 410 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and oxidation
• 1 inch overall length suits light-gauge metal fastening tasks
• Sold in multiples of 100 for job-site and shop use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for light sheet metal and HVAC applications requiring a No. 8 flat head self drilling screw with a Phillips drive and No. 2 drill point.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard No. 2 Phillips bit in a variable-speed drill or screw gun. Apply consistent axial pressure to allow the drill point to engage before the threads begin cutting. Do not overdrive — flat head screws driven past flush can strip the mating material or fracture the fastener head. Follow applicable building and mechanical codes when using self drilling fasteners in structural or pressure-boundary assemblies.
