Value Collection SMPCI0-800500-100BX Sheet Metal Screw No 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPCI0-800500-100BX is a No. 8 sheet metal screw with a pan head and combination slotted-Phillips drive. It is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. The length under head measures 0.5 inches, and the point is Type AB, which is a self-tapping point designed to pierce and thread into light-gauge sheet metal, thin-wall tubing, and similar materials without a pre-tapped hole. This fastener is used across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general sheet metal fabrication applications. It ships in a box quantity of 100 units.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal assembly work common in residential and commercial HVAC ductwork fabrication, electrical enclosure installation, and general trade applications. The combination slotted-Phillips head accepts either a flat-blade or Phillips driver, giving installers flexibility in the field. The Type AB point initiates threading without a pilot tap, making it a standard choice for sheet metal panels, junction boxes, and equipment covers where speed of installation matters.

Key Features

• No. 8 thread size, 0.5 inches length under head for light-gauge applications
• Pan head profile provides a low-profile, wide-bearing surface on thin materials
• Combination slotted-Phillips drive accepts flat-blade or Phillips drivers
• Type AB self-tapping point threads directly into sheet metal without pre-tapping
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for general indoor use
• Box of 100 units supports production or service-call quantities

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 Type AB pan head sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel and aluminum sheet metal assemblies typical in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general trade fabrication work.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal workers using a Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver or a power driver with the appropriate bit. De-energize any electrical enclosure or HVAC equipment before fastening covers or panels. Avoid over-driving, as pan head sheet metal screws in thin-gauge material can strip the formed thread or distort the panel. A pilot hole may be used for precise placement, though the Type AB point is designed to self-pierce light-gauge stock.
