Value Collection R50000403 Self Drilling Screw 8 Hex

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000403 is a Number 8 self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in metal-to-metal and light-gauge steel applications. Featuring a hex washer head and hex drive, this screw allows for high-torque installation with standard hex bit drivers. The Number 2 drill point eliminates the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole, cutting through material cleanly on contact. At 1 inch length under head, it is well suited for thin-panel and sheet metal assembly work. The zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for general interior trade applications. Installed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure mounting, and light structural metal fabrication. The hex washer head provides a built-in bearing surface that distributes clamping load and resists pull-through in sheet metal. The hex drive style is compatible with standard power driver bits used in trade work. Supplied in quantities of 100 per order, making it practical for production and service work requiring consistent fastener supply.

Key Features

• Number 8 screw size for light-gauge metal fastening
• Number 2 drill point drills its own pilot hole on contact
• Hex washer head provides integrated bearing surface and resists pull-through
• Hex drive accepts standard power driver bits for fast installation
• Zinc-plated steel finish for corrosion resistance in interior applications
• 1 inch length under head suits thin sheet metal and panel assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for light-gauge steel sheet metal applications including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and metal panel assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, or general contractors using a hex bit driver or impact driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the head or overdriving through thin material. Power down all electrical systems and shut off HVAC equipment before fastening near live panels or energized ductwork. Do not use in applications exceeding the rated material thickness for a Number 2 drill point. Follow applicable codes including SMACNA standards for ductwork fastener spacing.
