Value Collection R63646483 No. 8 Oval Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63646483 is a No. 8 oval head sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in light-gauge metal assemblies. The Phillips drive allows for fast installation with standard hand or power tools. Constructed from Grade 18-8 stainless steel, this screw resists corrosion in humid or outdoor environments, making it a reliable choice for HVAC panels, electrical enclosures, ductwork, and similar sheet metal applications. The overall length is 1.25 inches. This fastener is sold in a package quantity of 100 units, suited for production work or service stocking.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal fabricators when fastening thin metal panels, junction box covers, equipment housings, and ductwork components. The oval head profile sits slightly above the surface and provides a finished appearance where aesthetics matter alongside mechanical hold. Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for coastal, wet, or chemically active environments where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

• Sold in 100-unit increments for service stocking or production use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 oval head Phillips sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel, aluminum, and similar thin-metal assemblies across HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a No. 2 Phillips bit or manual screwdriver. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and shut down HVAC equipment before accessing panels secured by these fasteners. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in harder or thicker gauge material prevents thread stripping and reduces drive cam-out. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can seize the thread permanently.
