Value Collection R55000132 Self Drilling Screw No 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R55000132 is a No. 8 self drilling screw designed for secure fastening in metal-to-metal and metal-to-substrate applications. Featuring a hex washer head with a hex drive, this screw bores its own pilot hole as it drives, eliminating the need for a separate drilling step. The shank measures 5/8 inches in length under the head. Constructed from Grade 410 stainless steel, it offers solid corrosion resistance for use in environments where mild moisture exposure is a concern. The No. 2 drill point is suited for sheet metal gauges commonly encountered in HVAC, electrical, and light structural work.

This screw is used in trade applications where sheet metal panels, ductwork flanges, electrical enclosures, or light structural members need to be joined without pre-drilling. The hex washer head provides a bearing surface that resists pull-through, and the hex drive allows use with standard nut drivers and hex-bit drivers commonly carried by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers. These screws are typically used in residential and light commercial installations where stainless steel is specified for extended service life.

Key Features

• No. 2 drill point self-taps through sheet metal without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Grade 410 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance
• Hex washer head delivers a broad bearing surface to resist pull-through
• Hex drive is compatible with standard nut drivers and hex-bit drivers
• 5/8 inch length under head suits standard sheet metal gauges

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for No. 8 self drilling screw applications in sheet metal assemblies, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light structural panels where a hex washer head profile is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a hex-tip nut driver or hex-bit power driver set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the drive or overdriving the head. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure before fastening panels. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA standards for duct assembly or the NEC for electrical enclosure work. Do not reuse self drilling screws once removed, as the drill point and thread form may be compromised.
