Value Collection SMPCI0-800370-050B Sheet Metal Screw 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPCI0-800370-050B is a Size 8 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge sheet metal and thin material assemblies. It features a Type AB point for easy thread engagement on sheet metal and a dual-drive pan head that accepts both a slotted blade or a Phillips driver. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and sheltered applications. This screw measures 3/8 inches in length under head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, making it well suited for trade and production use where consistent fastener supply is required.

This screw is appropriate for HVAC sheet metal fabrication, ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure work, and light mechanical panel fastening. The pan head profile sits flush against the workpiece surface without countersinking, which suits applications where a low-profile fastened joint is needed on exposed or semi-exposed sheet metal. Installers in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal trades will find this a standard utility fastener for everyday field and shop use.

Key Features

• Type AB point for positive thread engagement in pre-punched or self-piercing sheet metal applications
• Dual-drive pan head accepts both slotted and Phillips drivers for flexibility in the field
• Zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance in sheltered and indoor environments
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable shear and tensile strength for light-gauge fastening
• 3/8 inch length under head suits thin-gauge sheet metal stacking without through-drive risk
• Sold in 50-piece increments, practical for production shops and service technicians carrying stock

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Size 8 Type AB sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel sheet metal assemblies, HVAC ductwork panels, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-material fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general sheet metal workers using a manual or powered Phillips or slotted driver. Always match driver tip size to head recess to avoid cam-out and head damage. Pre-punch or pre-drill pilot holes in harder or thicker gauge material before driving. Ensure power tools are set to an appropriate torque clutch setting to prevent stripping the zinc finish or deforming the pan head.
