Value Collection SMHWI0-800250SL-100BX Sheet Metal Screw No. 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWI0-800250SL-100BX is a No. 8 sheet metal screw with a hex washer head and slotted drive, sold in a box of 100. The screw measures 0.25 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish. The Type AB point style allows for self-starting in pre-punched or pre-drilled sheet metal without requiring a pilot hole in most applications. This fastener is installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general trade professionals when securing sheet metal panels, ductwork connections, electrical enclosures, or light-gauge metal assemblies.

This screw is commonly used in light-gauge sheet metal work across residential and commercial applications. Typical install scenarios include securing HVAC duct flanges, attaching access panels on air handlers and furnace cabinets, fastening electrical junction box covers, and joining thin-gauge metal components. The hex washer head provides a bearing surface that resists pull-through on thinner materials, and the slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit with a hex driver. Ensure the mating material is properly supported before driving to avoid distortion of thin-gauge panels. Power down electrical equipment and depressurize or isolate any duct or enclosure before removing or replacing fasteners during service. Follow applicable NEC or IFGC guidelines when fastening components in electrical or gas appliance enclosures.
