Value Collection R58005302 No. 8 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005302 is a No. 8 hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge metal panels, ductwork, enclosures, and similar sheet metal assemblies. The slotted drive accommodates a standard flat-blade screwdriver or bit, and the hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface that resists pull-through on thin sheet stock. Constructed from Grade 316 stainless steel in an uncoated finish, this screw delivers strong corrosion resistance in wet, coastal, or chemically exposed environments. Length under head measures 0.375 inches. Installation by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, plumbers, and electricians is common across residential and light commercial applications.

This screw is suited for use in HVAC duct fabrication and equipment enclosures, plumbing and electrical panel assemblies, and general light-gauge sheet metal work. The Grade 316 stainless steel construction makes it a preferred choice when fasteners will be exposed to moisture, salt air, or mild chemical environments where standard carbon steel or Grade 18-8 stainless would be marginal. The hex washer head allows both flat-blade and nut-driver installation, giving field technicians flexibility in tight spaces.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• Hex washer head provides a wide bearing surface and supports flat-blade or nut-driver installation
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bits
• No. 8 thread size and 0.375-inch length under head sized for light-gauge sheet metal work
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and avoids coating delamination in corrosive settings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-purpose fastener for light-gauge sheet metal applications including HVAC ductwork, equipment panels, and electrical enclosures requiring a No. 8 hex washer head sheet metal screw.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver or a nut driver sized to the hex washer head. Ensure sheet metal panels are properly aligned and clamped before driving to prevent material distortion. De-energize electrical equipment and shut off HVAC systems before fastening panels or enclosures per NEC and local code requirements. Avoid overtightening, which can strip light-gauge sheet metal and compromise the fastened joint.
