Value Collection R55000078 No. 8 Self Drilling Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R55000078 is a No. 8 self drilling screw designed for fast, reliable fastening without a pre-drilled pilot hole. It features a flat head profile with a Phillips drive and a No. 2 drill point that cuts through material on contact. The overall length is 5/8 inches. Constructed from Grade 410 stainless steel, it delivers solid corrosion resistance in demanding environments. This screw is sized and configured for use by contractors, sheet metal workers, and maintenance technicians who need a consistent, production-ready fastener for light-gauge applications.

This self drilling screw is suited for light sheet metal assembly, HVAC ductwork fabrication, metal framing, and similar trade applications where speed and corrosion resistance are priorities. The flat head sits flush with or below the material surface when fully driven, making it a practical choice in finish-sensitive or clearance-limited installations. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power drivers and hand tools found on most job sites.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point eliminates the need for a pilot hole in light-gauge material
• Flat head profile sits flush for clean, low-profile installations
• Grade 410 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in moisture-exposed environments
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power drivers and hand screwdrivers
• 5/8 inch overall length suited for thin-gauge sheet metal and light structural connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 self drilling screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, and similar thin-material fastening applications where a flush flat head and drill-point tip are required.

Installation Notes

This screw is typically installed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, or general contractors using a power drill or screw gun set to the appropriate clutch setting for light-gauge material. Ensure the drill point is properly aligned with the workpiece before driving to prevent walking or stripping. Do not overdrive — the flat head should sit flush without countersinking beyond the material surface. Follow applicable building and mechanical codes for fastener spacing and material thickness requirements.
