Value Collection R55000080 No. 8 Self Drilling Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R55000080 is a No. 8 self drilling screw with a flat head and Phillips drive, designed for fastening into metal without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The No. 2 drill point bores through the material as the screw is driven, reducing installation steps and labor time. Made from Grade 410 stainless steel, this screw offers solid corrosion resistance for demanding environments. With an overall length of 0.75 inches, it is suited for light-gauge sheet metal connections common in HVAC ductwork fabrication, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal assemblies. Licensed tradespeople and sheet metal workers are the primary installers.

This screw is used in residential and light commercial applications where a flush-seating flat head is required. The flat head countersinks into the material for a low-profile finish, making it appropriate for panels, trim, and sheet metal where a protruding fastener head would interfere with assembly or airflow. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits and power drivers. These fasteners ship in multiples of 100, making them suitable for stocking in service vehicles and shop inventory.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point eliminates need for a pre-drilled pilot hole in light-gauge sheet metal
• Flat head countersinks flush for low-profile, non-protruding installations
• Grade 410 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in humid or outdoor-adjacent environments
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 bits and impact drivers
• 0.75 inch overall length suited for light-gauge panel and ductwork fastening
• Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 for bulk stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 8 self drilling flat head screw for light-gauge sheet metal applications in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication work.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal workers and HVAC technicians typically install self drilling screws using a power driver with a No. 2 Phillips bit at controlled speed to avoid stripping the drive or overdriving the head. Ensure material gauge is within the capacity of the No. 2 drill point before driving. Safety glasses and gloves are recommended when working with sheet metal edges. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and load requirements.
