Value Collection SMPCI0-800750-100BX Sheet Metal Screw No. 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPCI0-800750-100BX is a No. 8 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light-gauge sheet metal assemblies. The screw features a Type AB point for quick thread engagement and a dual-drive head accepting both slotted and Phillips drivers. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, it delivers adequate corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered applications. Length under head measures 0.75 inches. Sold in a box of 100.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial work wherever No. 8 sheet metal fasteners are required. Common applications include HVAC duct assembly, electrical panel and junction box installation, metal framing, and general sheet metal fabrication. The pan head profile sits flush against material surfaces and distributes clamping load across a wider bearing area than truss or flat head designs, making it a practical choice for thin-gauge work where pull-through resistance matters.

Key Features

• Type AB point for fast thread engagement in pre-punched or self-starting holes in thin metal
• Slotted Phillips combination drive accepts either driver type for field flexibility
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface on thin-gauge sheet metal
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for indoor and sheltered-environment use
• 0.75-inch length under head suits standard light-gauge sheet metal stacking
• Box quantity of 100 supports job-site and shop inventory needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 Type AB pan head sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge steel sheet metal applications including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general metal fabrication where a No. 8 fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a hand screwdriver or power driver set to appropriate clutch torque to avoid stripping the head. Pre-drilling or punching a pilot hole is recommended when working with heavier gauges. Always de-energize electrical equipment before fastening enclosures or panels, and follow applicable NEC or IFGC guidelines for the system being serviced. Do not overtighten, as Grade 2 steel heads can shear under excessive torque.
