Value Collection R52000879 Size 8 Slotted Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000879 is a size 8 pan head slotted sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal components in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. Constructed from aluminum, this screw measures 0.375 inches in length under the head and features a slotted drive for use with a standard flat-blade screwdriver. It conforms to ASME B18.6.4, the recognized dimensional standard for slotted and recessed head screws used in sheet metal. This fastener is commonly specified by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers who need a lightweight, corrosion-resistant option for panel and enclosure assembly.

This screw is suited for use in residential and light commercial applications where sheet metal panels, ductwork covers, electrical enclosures, or equipment housings require secure mechanical fastening. The aluminum construction makes it a practical choice in environments where galvanic compatibility with aluminum substrates is a concern. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it appropriate for service vans, shop stock, or job-site kits where this size is regularly consumed.

• Conforms to ASME B18.6.4 dimensional standard for consistent fit and interchangeability
• 0.375 inch length under head suits thin-gauge sheet metal fastening tasks
• Minimum order quantity of 100 pieces supports bulk stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for size 8 slotted sheet metal screw applications conforming to ASME B18.6.4 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a flat-blade screwdriver or matching bit driver. Power down and de-energize any equipment or enclosure before fastening or removing screws from electrical panels or HVAC equipment covers. Avoid overtightening in thin-gauge aluminum sheet metal, as aluminum threads strip more readily than steel. Follow applicable codes such as NFPA 70 (NEC) for electrical enclosure fastening requirements.
