Value Collection R58005376 No. 8 Oval Slotted Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005376 is a No. 8 oval head sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal and light-gauge materials in trade and industrial applications. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. At 0.625 inches overall length, this screw is sized for thin-material work where a low-profile oval head is needed to sit flush or slightly above the surface. Constructed from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, it provides strong corrosion resistance in wet, coastal, or chemically active environments. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and electricians reach for 316 stainless hardware when standard steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

This screw is suited for light sheet metal assembly in residential and commercial applications, including ductwork, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and equipment panels. The oval head profile is commonly chosen when a finished appearance matters alongside a secure mechanical connection. The slotted drive keeps the installation simple with basic hand tools, making it practical for field repairs and panel work across multiple trades.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for strong corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• Oval head profile seats cleanly against sheet metal surfaces for a low-profile, finished look
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers — no specialty bits required
• No. 8 thread size is a common trade standard for light-gauge sheet metal fastening
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and avoids coating flake-off in service
• 0.625 inches overall length suited to thin-material and panel assembly work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fastener for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies, enclosures, and panel applications requiring a No. 8 oval head slotted screw in 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians as part of panel, enclosure, or ductwork assembly. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening into or near electrical enclosures, per NEC guidelines. Use a properly sized flat-blade screwdriver to avoid cam-out and head damage. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in harder sheet metal will reduce drive effort and prevent material deformation.
