Value Collection SMHWI0-80050B0US-100BX Sheet Metal Screw No8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWI0-80050B0US-100BX is a No. 8 hex washer head sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-material assemblies. The hex drive accepts a standard nut driver or hex bit, allowing fast, consistent torque in tight spaces. The Type B point is self-tapping, eliminating the need for a pilot hole in most light-gauge applications. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, the fastener resists corrosion in typical indoor service environments. Length under head is 0.5 inches. Sold in boxes of 100.

This screw is a standard fastener used across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general sheet metal work. Common install scenarios include securing duct sections, attaching access panels, fastening junction box covers, and assembling light structural sheet metal components. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface that resists pull-through on thin-gauge material. The zinc finish suits dry to mildly humid indoor environments. This size and drive type are among the most common in HVAC duct fabrication and service work.

Key Features

• No. 8 thread size with 0.5-inch length under head for light-gauge fastening
• Hex washer head distributes clamping load and resists pull-through
• Hex drive accepts standard 1/4-inch nut driver or hex bit
• Type B self-tapping point eliminates pilot hole in most light-gauge applications
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance in indoor use
• Packaged in boxes of 100 for bench stock and service van inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 hex washer head sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel sheet metal assemblies, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-material fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a nut driver or hex-bit driver. Ensure the workpiece is secure before driving. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the material or deform the washer head bearing surface. For electrical enclosures, verify that fastener length does not protrude in a way that contacts internal wiring or components.
