Value Collection R58005096 Sheet Metal Screw Size 8 Pan Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005096 is a size 8 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, and sheet stock in HVAC, electrical, and light fabrication applications. The slotted drive provides straightforward installation with a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Machined from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this screw resists corrosion in wet, coastal, and chemically exposed environments. The 0.625 inch length is measured from under the head, making it well suited for light-gauge sheet metal connections where thread engagement is critical and material stack-up is limited.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians for securing ductwork components, electrical enclosure covers, junction box covers, and fabricated metal assemblies. Grade 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for outdoor, marine, or high-humidity service environments where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely. The pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wide bearing surface without concentrating stress, which is useful when fastening thinner gauge panels.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and marine environments
• Pan head profile distributes clamp load and sits low against the fastened surface
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted bit drivers
• 0.625 inch length under head sized for light-gauge sheet metal applications
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and avoids coating-related fit issues in tight clearances
• Size 8 thread suitable for common sheet metal gauges used in HVAC ductwork and electrical enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as a standard size 8 pan head slotted sheet metal screw for use in residential and commercial HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication requiring Grade 316 stainless steel fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, or electricians using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit driver. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure before fastening covers or panels. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in heavier gauge material reduces the risk of screw breakage and ensures proper thread engagement. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA guidelines for ductwork connections and NEC requirements for electrical enclosure fastening.
