Value Collection R58005236 No. 8 Flat Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005236 is a No. 8 flat head Phillips sheet metal screw manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel. With an overall length of 0.625 inches, this screw is designed for fastening thin-gauge sheet metal assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority. Grade 316 stainless steel provides superior resistance to chlorides and harsh environments compared to Grade 304, making it a reliable choice for marine, coastal, and chemical-exposure applications. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface upon installation, eliminating protrusions that could interfere with adjacent components or create safety hazards in finished assemblies.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal work across HVAC, electrical enclosure, plumbing, and general trade applications. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power drivers and hand screwdrivers, making it practical for high-volume production work and field service alike. Typical uses include fastening ductwork flanges, enclosure panels, junction box covers, and similar thin-metal assemblies. This SKU is sold as a single piece with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for excellent corrosion and chloride resistance
• Flat head profile seats flush with the work surface for a clean, low-profile finish
• Phillips drive accepts standard No. 2 Phillips bits for fast installation
• Uncoated finish preserves dimensional accuracy and avoids coating incompatibility in corrosive environments
• No. 8 thread size suits common light-gauge sheet metal thicknesses used in trade work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for light-gauge sheet metal applications in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and related trade assemblies requiring a No. 8 flat head Phillips screw in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, or general trade professionals using a No. 2 Phillips bit driver. Pre-drilling or self-tapping into material thicker than the screw is rated for may cause fastener failure — verify gauge compatibility before driving. De-energize and isolate any electrical enclosures or powered equipment before accessing panels. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in contact applications where galvanic corrosion could be a concern.
