Value Collection R63640964 No. 8 Oval Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63640964 is a No. 8 oval head sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in light-gauge metal applications. Manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel, this screw delivers strong corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both interior and exterior installations where moisture exposure is a concern. The Phillips drive allows for quick, controlled installation with standard tooling. At 0.625 inches overall length, this fastener is sized for thin sheet metal work where a low-profile, finished appearance is required. Sold in multiples of 100, it is suited for contractors and tradespeople who need reliable, consistent hardware in volume.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, plumbing panels, and general sheet metal fabrication. The oval head profile sits slightly above the surface, providing a clean finished look while maintaining a positive bearing surface. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a corrosion-resistant fastener is specified. Tradespeople working with stainless steel sheet, galvanized steel, or aluminum panel work will find this screw suitable for both structural and finish-fastening tasks.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 8 oval head sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge metal panels, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar sheet metal assemblies requiring a Phillips-drive, corrosion-resistant fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified tradespeople using a No. 2 Phillips bit at controlled torque to avoid stripping the drive or deforming the sheet metal. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended for harder or thicker gauge stock. Avoid over-driving, which can pull the oval head through thin material or compromise the fastening joint. Follow applicable NEC, SMACNA, or manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and panel assembly.
