Value Collection R63649842 No. 8 Flat Head Slotted Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63649842 is a No. 8 flat head slotted sheet metal screw manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel. At 1-1/2 inches overall length, it is sized for securing sheet metal panels, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light structural assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the mating surface, making it well suited for applications where a low-profile fastener is required. Grade 18-8 stainless steel provides solid resistance to rust and oxidation in both indoor and outdoor environments. The slotted drive accepts a standard flathead screwdriver or bit, keeping the tooling requirement minimal on the job site.

This screw is used across HVAC ductwork fabrication, sheet metal enclosure assembly, electrical panel work, and general trade applications where a flush-seating corrosion-resistant fastener is needed. The No. 8 thread size is a common standard in light-gauge sheet metal work. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces, this fastener is practical for service vans, shop stock, and production assembly operations alike.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Flat head profile seats flush with the workpiece surface for a clean, low-profile finish
• Slotted drive works with standard flathead screwdrivers or bits — no specialty tooling required
• No. 8 thread size suits common light-gauge sheet metal applications
• 1-1/2 inches overall length provides adequate thread engagement across standard sheet metal gauges

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 flat head slotted sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge sheet metal fabrication and assembly applications across HVAC, electrical, and general trade work.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a standard slotted screwdriver or matching bit driver. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in thicker gauge metal is recommended to prevent material deformation and reduce drive torque. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the sheet metal threads or crack the workpiece material. When used in electrical enclosures, verify fastener placement complies with applicable NEC requirements for grounding and bonding continuity.
