Value Collection R58005384 Sheet Metal Screw Size 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005384 is a size 8 sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general trade applications. It features an oval head profile with a slotted drive, giving installers a clean, low-profile finish on visible surfaces. The fastener is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel in an uncoated finish, providing strong corrosion resistance in wet, coastal, or chemically exposed environments. Overall length is 1.5 inches. This screw is a standard consumable used by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, electricians, and plumbers across residential and light commercial jobsites.

This screw is suited for applications where corrosion resistance is a priority, including coastal installations, outdoor enclosures, pool equipment panels, and marine-adjacent environments. The Grade 316 stainless steel construction outperforms Grade 304 in chloride-heavy conditions. The oval head style works well in countersunk or pre-drilled clearance holes where a finished appearance is required. Commonly used in HVAC duct assemblies, electrical panel knockouts, plumbing access covers, and light-gauge sheet metal connections.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• Oval head profile provides a low-profile, finished look on exposed fastener points
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted bit drivers
• 1.5 inch overall length suits standard light-gauge sheet metal thickness ranges
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and avoids coating delamination over time
• Size 8 thread is a widely used standard across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing sheet metal work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for size 8 sheet metal screw applications in light-gauge metal assemblies across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trade work.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, electricians, and plumbers using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit driver. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in the base material is recommended to prevent metal distortion and improve thread engagement. De-energize all electrical systems and shut off relevant mechanical systems before fastening into live panels or duct assemblies. Follow applicable codes including NEC and SMACNA guidelines for fastener spacing and installation practices.
