Value Collection MSC-74125303 No. 8 Self Drilling Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-74125303 is a No. 8 self drilling screw with a hex washer head and hex drive, measuring 1/2 inch in length under the head. Manufactured from Grade 410 stainless steel, this screw combines corrosion resistance with the hardness needed to drill and tap its own hole in light-gauge metal without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The No. 2 drill point is suited for fastening into sheet metal, light structural steel, and metal framing. HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and plumbers commonly use this screw type when securing ductwork, equipment panels, and metal enclosures.

This screw is a standard choice for light-gauge metal-to-metal fastening applications in residential and commercial mechanical, HVAC, and plumbing installations. The hex washer head provides a built-in bearing surface that distributes load and reduces pull-through. The hex drive accommodates a standard hex bit driver, which is the typical tool used in production and service work alike. Sold in multiples of 100, this screw is stocked for repetitive fastening tasks on the job site or in the shop.

Key Features

• Grade 410 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in moisture-prone environments
• No. 2 drill point self-drills into light-gauge metal without a pilot hole
• Hex washer head provides an integrated bearing surface to reduce pull-through
• Hex drive compatible with standard hex bit drivers for fast installation
• 1/2 inch length under head suits thin sheet metal and panel fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 hex washer head self drilling screw for light-gauge metal fastening applications in HVAC, sheet metal, and mechanical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a hex bit driver at controlled speed to avoid stripping the drill point or over-driving the head. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening into panels or enclosures. Do not use in applications requiring structural-grade fasteners unless the base metal and load conditions have been verified. Follow applicable local mechanical and building codes for fastener selection in rated assemblies.
