Value Collection SHHI0-800500US-050B No. 8 Hex Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SHHI0-800500US-050B is a No. 8 hex head sheet metal screw engineered for fast, secure fastening in light-gauge metal applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw features a Type AB point for easy thread engagement without pre-drilling in many thin-metal substrates. The hex head accepts a standard nut driver or hex socket for high-torque driving. Length is measured under the head at 1/2 inch, conforming to ASME B18.6.3 standards. Sold in minimum quantities of 50, this screw is a reliable choice for production fastening, HVAC ductwork assembly, and general sheet metal fabrication.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where thin-gauge steel, aluminum, or similar sheet metal panels require a threaded mechanical fastener. Common install scenarios include duct flange connections, electrical enclosure assembly, junction box covers, metal framing, and similar repetitive sheet metal fastening tasks. The hex drive allows efficient operation with power tools in high-volume applications. Minimum order quantity is 50 pieces per package.

Key Features

• Type AB point for positive thread engagement in thin sheet metal
• Hex head and hex drive accept standard nut drivers and hex sockets
• 1/2 inch length under head suits thin-gauge panel fastening
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance
• Packaged in quantities of 50 for production and service use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 Type AB sheet metal screw for use with light-gauge steel, aluminum, and similar thin-metal substrates common in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general sheet metal workers using a nut driver, hex socket, or power driver set to appropriate clutch settings to avoid stripping. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and shut down HVAC equipment before fastening components. Pre-drilling a pilot hole may be required in heavier-gauge material beyond the capacity of the Type AB point. Follow applicable codes including SMACNA ductwork standards and NEC enclosure requirements where relevant.
