Value Collection R52000886 No. 8 Self Drilling Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000886 is a No. 8 self-drilling screw with a hex washer head and hex drive, designed for fast, reliable fastening without a pre-drilled pilot hole. Built from grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it offers solid corrosion resistance for light-duty applications. The 0.5-inch length under head suits thin-gauge sheet metal and light structural connections. The No. 2 drill point pierces substrate and taps its own thread in a single pass, reducing installation time. This screw meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 standards and is sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces.

This fastener is suited for residential and commercial HVAC ductwork, metal framing, roofing panels, electrical enclosures, and light sheet metal assembly. The hex washer head provides a large bearing surface that resists pull-through on thin materials. The hex drive allows use with a standard nut driver or hex bit, making it a common choice for HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians securing panels and access covers.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point self-taps without a pilot hole for faster installation
• Hex washer head delivers a wide bearing surface to resist pull-through
• Hex drive is compatible with standard nut drivers and hex bit sets
• Grade 1016/1024 steel construction meets AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 standards
• Zinc-plated finish provides light corrosion resistance for indoor and protected outdoor use
• Sold in multiples of 100 for consistent jobsite stocking

Compatibility

Designed for use with light-gauge sheet metal, metal studs, and thin structural panels typical of HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and metal building assemblies where a No. 8 self-drilling fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a power drill or impact driver fitted with a hex bit or nut driver sized for a No. 8 hex washer head screw. Verify substrate thickness is within the rated capacity of a No. 2 drill point before driving. Apply consistent forward pressure to allow the drill point to engage cleanly before the thread engages. Do not overdrive; excessive torque will strip the thread in thin-gauge material.
