Value Collection SMHWI0-801000SLNP-050BX Sheet Metal Screw 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMHWI0-801000SLNP-050BX is a size 8 sheet metal screw with a hex washer head and slotted drive, sold in a minimum quantity of 50. It is designed for fastening thin sheet metal, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light fabrication work. The screw measures 1 inch in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in typical indoor service environments. Compatible with both Type A and Type AB point configurations, this fastener suits a wide range of sheet metal gauges and application types encountered in HVAC, electrical, and general trade work.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC duct fabrication and assembly, electrical panel and enclosure work, and general sheet metal fastening in residential and light commercial applications. The hex washer head provides a large bearing surface that resists pull-through in thinner gauges, while the slotted drive allows installation with standard flat-blade or hex-driver tools. The Type A and Type AB point options make this fastener suitable for both self-starting applications in pre-punched material and pilot-hole work.

Key Features

• Size 8 thread with 1-inch length under head for consistent fastening depth in standard sheet metal gauges
• Hex washer head provides a large bearing surface and reduces pull-through risk
• Slotted drive accommodates flat-blade drivers and standard hex-driver bits
• Type A and Type AB point types support both pre-punched and pilot-hole installations
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for indoor corrosion resistance
• Sold in 50-piece minimum quantity, suited for job-site use and small-quantity procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock fastener for size 8 sheet metal screw applications in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light-gauge sheet metal assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal fabricators using a flat-blade screwdriver or hex-driver bit. Always select the correct screw length for the material thickness to avoid over-penetration or insufficient thread engagement. When used in electrical enclosures, follow applicable NEC guidelines for fastener placement and panel integrity. Do not overtighten, as Grade 2 steel fasteners in thin sheet metal can strip the material if excessive torque is applied.
