Value Collection R52000909 No. 8 Self Drilling Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000909 is a No. 8 self drilling screw designed for fastening applications where pre-drilling is not practical or efficient. It features a hex washer head driven by a hex drive and uses a No. 2 drill point to cut its own pilot hole on contact. The shank measures 1-1/2 inches in length under the head. Constructed from grade 1016-1024 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw resists corrosion in typical indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. It is suited for use by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general contractors working with sheet metal, light steel framing, or metal panel assemblies.

This screw is commonly used in light-gauge sheet metal assembly, ductwork fabrication, electrical enclosure installation, and general metal-to-metal fastening tasks. The hex washer head provides bearing surface and resists pull-through under load, while the hex drive allows for consistent torque delivery with a standard nut driver or hex bit. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point cuts its own pilot hole without pre-drilling
• Hex washer head provides wide bearing surface and pull-through resistance
• Hex drive compatible with standard nut drivers and hex bit drivers
• Grade 1016-1024 steel construction for reliable mechanical strength
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in sheltered environments
• Conforms to AISI 1016, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J78 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fastener for light-gauge metal-to-metal applications typical in HVAC, electrical, and general construction trades.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a hex bit driver or nut driver sized to the hex washer head. Ensure the workpiece is secured before driving to prevent material walking. Do not overdrive — stop when the washer head seats flush against the material surface to avoid stripping the drill point or distorting the base material.
