Value Collection R63643022 Sheet Metal Screw No. 8 Round Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63643022 is a No. 8 round head Phillips drive sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, ductwork, and similar light-gauge sheet metal assemblies. Constructed from grade 18-8 stainless steel, this screw delivers strong corrosion resistance in moisture-prone or outdoor environments. The round head profile sits proud of the workpiece surface, providing a broad bearing area. Drive engagement is standard Phillips, compatible with common power drivers and manual screwdrivers used in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal work. Thread size is No. 8 with a length under head of 1.5 inches.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where stainless steel fasteners are required to prevent rust and galvanic corrosion. Typical uses include securing sheet metal duct sections, electrical enclosure panels, junction box covers, and light-gauge metal framing components. The 18-8 stainless grade is a practical choice where moderate chemical exposure or periodic moisture contact is expected, making it a common specification in HVAC installation, plumbing rough-in, and electrical panel work. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch length under head for secure penetration through light-gauge material
• Round head profile provides broad bearing surface and flush-free clearance
• Phillips drive accepts standard bits used by HVAC, electrical, and sheet metal trades

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose No. 8 round head Phillips sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge metal fastening applications across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a Phillips-head bit on a variable-speed power driver or manual screwdriver. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended when working with heavier-gauge material to prevent workpiece distortion. Do not overtorque, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling if driven at excessive speed without lubrication. Follow applicable installation codes and manufacturer guidelines for the assembly being fastened.
