Value Collection MSC-74125071 Self Drilling Screw No. 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-74125071 is a No. 8 self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening without a pre-drilled pilot hole. It features a flat head profile, Phillips drive, and a No. 2 drill point, with an overall length of 1.5 inches. Constructed from Grade 410 stainless steel, this screw delivers solid corrosion resistance and mechanical strength suited for demanding trade and light industrial applications. It is well suited for HVAC sheet metal work, electrical enclosures, and other metal-to-metal or metal-to-substrate fastening tasks where a flush finished surface is required.

This screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial installations where a self-tapping fastener is needed in stainless steel construction. The flat head sits flush with the work surface, making it appropriate for panel assemblies, junction box covers, ductwork, and similar applications where a protruding head would interfere with fit or clearance. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard screw guns and hand drivers used in the field. These screws are sold in minimum order quantities of 100 units.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point eliminates the need for a pilot hole in compatible materials
• Flat head profile sits flush with the work surface for clean panel and enclosure assembly
• Grade 410 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for exterior and damp-location use
• Phillips drive works with standard power drivers and hand tools
• 1.5-inch overall length suits thin-gauge sheet metal and light substrate fastening
• Inch measurement system for straightforward sizing in standard trade applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose self drilling fastener suitable for sheet metal, light steel framing, and similar substrates commonly encountered in HVAC, electrical, and light construction work.

Installation Notes

Self drilling screws of this type are installed by licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade professionals using standard Phillips-head power drivers or hand screwdrivers. Ensure the substrate material and gauge are within the rated capacity of a No. 2 drill point before driving. Do not overdrive the fastener, as stripping the flat head or distorting the substrate can compromise the connection. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and shut down HVAC systems before fastening panels or covers.
