Value Collection R58005032 Sheet Metal Screw Size 8 Pan Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005032 is a number 8 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin-gauge metal in a wide range of trade and industrial applications. Featuring a Phillips drive and a length under head of 1.25 inches, this screw is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Grade 316 stainless offers elevated resistance to corrosion and chloride exposure compared to standard 304-grade fasteners, making it a reliable choice where moisture, salt air, or chemical exposure is a concern. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and sheet metal workers regularly reach for screws of this specification when securing ductwork, panels, and enclosures.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving sheet metal assembly, including HVAC duct connections, electrical panel work, equipment enclosures, and general metal fabrication. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface that distributes clamping load across the material face, making it appropriate for joining sheet metal components where a flat or oval head would interfere with mating surfaces. Minimum order quantity is 50 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and chloride resistance
• Number 8 thread size with 1.25-inch length under head for standard sheet metal gauges
• Pan head profile provides broad bearing surface with low-profile clearance
• Phillips drive compatible with standard and power screwdrivers used in the field
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and avoids coating delamination
• Inch measurement system for straightforward sizing in standard trade applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for sheet metal assemblies requiring a number 8 pan head Phillips screw in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, electricians, and plumbers using a Phillips-tip screwdriver or power driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the drive or deforming the sheet metal. Always pre-drill or use self-drilling compatible applications where the base metal gauge exceeds the screw's self-tapping capacity. Power down and de-energize any electrical enclosures or HVAC equipment before fastening panels or covers. Follow applicable codes including SMACNA duct construction standards and NEC requirements for electrical enclosures when selecting fastener type and spacing.
