Value Collection R58005022 Sheet Metal Screw Size 8 Pan Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005022 is a No. 8 pan head sheet metal screw with a Phillips drive, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Designed for sheet metal fastening applications, this screw features a 3/8-inch length measured under the head and delivers strong corrosion resistance thanks to its 316 stainless alloy construction. The pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface and low-profile seating, making it well suited for thin-gauge metal assemblies. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and sheet metal workers install these screws when a dependable, corrosion-resistant fastener is required in demanding environments.

This screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications involving HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, plumbing access panels, and general sheet metal fabrication. The Grade 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for installations in humid, coastal, or chemically exposed environments where standard carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power tools and hand drivers found in any trade technician toolkit.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments
• No. 8 thread size with 3/8-inch length under head for use in thin sheet metal assemblies
• Pan head profile delivers a wide bearing surface and flush, low-profile seating
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power drivers and hand tools
• Uncoated finish preserves natural stainless steel properties without added coatings

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 8 pan head sheet metal screw suitable for typical sheet metal fastening tasks in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and light fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers using a Phillips-tip power driver or hand screwdriver. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in thicker gauge material is recommended to prevent metal distortion and to seat the screw properly. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the threads or deform the sheet metal. Follow applicable codes such as the International Mechanical Code or NEC where fastener requirements for enclosures or ductwork are specified.
