Value Collection R83922638 No. 8 Flat Head Phillips Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R83922638 is a No. 8 flat head Phillips sheet metal screw manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel. At 0.5 inches overall length, this fastener is designed for securing thin-gauge sheet metal assemblies across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general trade applications. The flat head profile sits flush with the material surface, and the Phillips drive allows for fast installation with standard tooling. Grade 18-8 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor service environments where moisture or mild chemical exposure is a factor.

This screw is used wherever a flush-mount, corrosion-resistant fastener is required in light sheet metal work. Common applications include HVAC duct fabrication and service panels, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, equipment covers, and general sheet metal assembly. The No. 8 thread size and 0.5 inch length make it appropriate for single or double-layer light-gauge metal connections. It is used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers in both residential and commercial settings.

Key Features

• No. 8 thread size suits standard sheet metal gauges used in HVAC and electrical enclosure work
• Flat head profile creates a flush finish against the workpiece surface
• Phillips drive compatible with common power drivers and hand tools
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in moisture-prone environments
• 0.5 inch overall length designed for thin-gauge sheet metal fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 flat head Phillips sheet metal screw suitable for general light-gauge sheet metal fastening applications in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trade work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a Phillips-tip screwdriver or power driver. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and HVAC equipment before fastening or removing panel covers. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended when working with harder or thicker gauge metals to prevent material distortion. Follow applicable codes such as NEC or IFGC when securing access panels on code-governed equipment.
