Value Collection R58005374 Sheet Metal Screw Size 8 Oval Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005374 is a size 8 oval head sheet metal screw with a slotted drive, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. At 0.5 inches overall length, this screw is designed for fastening sheet metal and light-gauge materials in applications where corrosion resistance is critical. Grade 316 stainless steel offers superior resistance to chlorides and harsh environments compared to standard 304 grade, making it a reliable choice for marine, coastal, and chemical-exposure installations. Licensed tradespeople and skilled contractors rely on this fastener type for HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and plumbing panel assemblies.

This screw is suited for light sheet metal fastening tasks in both residential and commercial settings. The oval head profile provides a low-profile, finished appearance where the fastener head is visible, and the slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade screwdrivers. It is commonly used in HVAC equipment housings, metal junction boxes, and other sheet metal assemblies requiring a corrosion-resistant fastener with a clean aesthetic finish.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for strong corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• Oval head profile delivers a low-profile finished look on exposed fastener applications
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers for straightforward installation
• Uncoated finish maintains the natural corrosion-resistant properties of 316 stainless
• Size 8 thread at 0.5 inches overall length suits light-gauge sheet metal work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing applications requiring a size 8 oval head slotted sheet metal screw.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or plumbers as part of equipment assembly or panel work. Power down all electrical equipment and depressurize relevant systems before beginning fastener work on live panels or ductwork. Use a properly sized flat-blade screwdriver to avoid stripping the slotted drive head. Follow applicable NEC or IFGC guidelines for fastener use in equipment enclosures and ductwork assemblies.
