Value Collection R63643448 Sheet Metal Screw 8 Phillips

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63643448 is a number 8 round head Phillips drive sheet metal screw manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel. With a 3/4-inch length under head, this fastener is designed for secure attachment of sheet metal panels, brackets, and thin-gauge components in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general trade applications. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suited for both indoor and outdoor installations where moisture or chemical exposure is a concern. The round head profile distributes clamping load evenly across the mating surface, and the Phillips drive allows for fast installation with standard hand or power tools.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade applications including HVAC duct assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, sheet metal cabinet work, and plumbing equipment mounting. The number 8 thread size and 3/4-inch under-head length make it a common choice for light- to medium-gauge sheet metal work in residential and commercial settings. It is ordered in multiples of 100 units, making it practical for service trucks, fabrication shops, and job-site inventories where consistent fastener supply is needed.

Key Features

• Number 8 thread size suits light- to medium-gauge sheet metal applications
• Round head profile distributes load and resists pull-through on thin sheet stock
• Phillips drive compatible with standard screwdrivers and power drivers
• 3/4-inch length under head for reliable thread engagement in typical sheet metal thicknesses
• Sold in multiples of 100 for job-site and shop stock replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system sheet metal fastener for use in residential and commercial trade applications requiring a number 8 round head Phillips screw in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, or sheet metal workers using a Phillips screwdriver or power driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the drive or over-driving through thin material. Power down all electrical equipment and isolate any live systems before fastening into enclosures or panels. Follow applicable codes including NEC for electrical enclosures and SMACNA guidelines for duct assemblies when selecting fastener spacing and patterns. Avoid mixing stainless fasteners with dissimilar metals in highly conductive or galvanic environments without appropriate isolation.
