Value Collection R58005386 Oval Head Sheet Metal Screw 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R58005386 is a number 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, making it a practical choice for field installations where specialized bits are not available. Built from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this screw resists corrosion in wet, marine, and chemically exposed environments. The overall length is 2 inches. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and sheet metal workers commonly use this fastener when assembling ductwork, equipment enclosures, electrical panels, and similar assemblies that require corrosion-resistant hardware.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial applications where Grade 316 stainless steel is specified for its superior corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304. Typical install scenarios include coastal environments, chemical processing areas, outdoor enclosures, and any application where prolonged moisture exposure is expected. The oval head profile sits slightly above the material surface and provides a finished, low-profile look where aesthetics matter alongside function. Minimum order quantity is 25 units per order, with individual unit packaging.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh and wet environments
• Oval head profile delivers a low-profile, finished appearance at the fastener seat
• Slotted drive works with standard flat-blade screwdrivers, no specialized tooling required
• 2 inch overall length suits a range of sheet metal thicknesses and layered assemblies
• Uncoated finish maintains full stainless steel integrity without added surface treatments
• Number 8 thread size is a common trade standard for sheet metal fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fastener for sheet metal assemblies requiring a number 8 oval head slotted screw in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general sheet metal workers using a flat-blade screwdriver or compatible power driver bit. Always pre-drill or use a self-tapping approach appropriate to the base material gauge to avoid deforming the workpiece. Do not overtorque stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur and compromise thread integrity. Follow applicable mechanical and sheet metal codes for fastener spacing and load requirements on the specific assembly.
