Value Collection SMHWI0-800370SL-100BX Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWI0-800370SL-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 3/8 inches in length under the head and is made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish. The Type AB point is self-tapping, allowing it to cut threads into light-gauge sheet metal, thin-wall tubing, and similar materials without a pre-tapped hole. This fastener is a standard workhorse on HVAC, electrical, and sheet metal jobs where fast, secure attachment of metal panels, ductwork, and enclosures is required.

This screw is suited for light commercial and residential applications where a No. 8 thread size is specified. Common uses include securing sheet metal duct sections, fastening junction box covers, attaching access panels on air handlers and furnaces, and general sheet metal assembly work. The hex washer head provides a bearing surface that resists pull-through on thin materials. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-tip screwdrivers and many magnetic bit drivers used in the field.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers as part of duct assembly, panel attachment, and enclosure work. Ensure power is off and equipment is de-energized before fastening panels or covers on electrical or HVAC equipment. Use a properly sized flat-tip screwdriver or slotted bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. Zinc-finished fasteners are intended for dry indoor use and are not rated for outdoor or high-moisture environments.
