Value Collection R50000326 No. 8 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000326 is a No. 8 sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge metal components in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. The hex washer head provides a built-in bearing surface that distributes clamping load and resists pull-through on thin sheet metal. A slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver or bit. Made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw measures 1.5 inches in length under head. It is installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers during ductwork fabrication, panel assembly, and equipment enclosure work.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving thin sheet metal connections. Common install scenarios include securing duct sections, attaching junction box knockouts, fastening equipment access panels, and anchoring sheet metal brackets. The Type A and Type AB point compatibility gives it flexibility across a range of sheet metal gauges. Sold in multiples of 100 units per order.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation fastener for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a flat-blade screwdriver or hex-head nut driver. De-energize any electrical equipment and shut down HVAC systems before fastening near live components or pressurized ductwork. Avoid overtightening, which can strip threads in thin-gauge sheet metal or crack the head. Follow applicable NEC or SMACNA guidelines for fastener spacing and panel securement.
