Value Collection SMPCI0-801250-100BX Sheet Metal Screw 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPCI0-801250-100BX is a No. 8 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in light-gauge metal applications. It features a dual-drive slotted and Phillips head, allowing use with either a flat-blade or cross-tip driver. The screw measures 1-1/4 inches under the head, is manufactured from Grade 2 steel, and carries a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. A Type A and Type AB point combination ensures clean thread engagement on sheet metal, thin plate, and similar substrates. This fastener is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per box, making it suitable for production work, service van stocking, or job-site use by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade professionals.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, light-gauge metal panel attachment, and general sheet metal work. The pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface that distributes clamping load across thin materials without pulling through. The zinc finish is appropriate for dry and mildly humid indoor environments. Installers working on equipment panels, junction box covers, or sheet metal brackets will find the dual-drive feature useful when working in tight spaces with limited tool clearance.

Key Features

• No. 8 thread size with 1-1/4 inch length measured under the head
• Pan head profile for broad bearing surface on light-gauge sheet metal
• Dual-drive design accepts both slotted and Phillips drivers
• Type A and Type AB point for clean self-starting thread engagement
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance in dry environments
• Sold in 100-piece minimum order quantity for efficient job-site or shop stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel panels, ductwork flanges, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-metal fastening applications where a pan head and self-tapping point are required.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a manual screwdriver or low-torque power driver set to avoid stripping the slot or over-driving the head. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in heavier-gauge stock to prevent material distortion. De-energize any electrical enclosure or equipment before fastening panels or covers. Avoid applying excessive torque, which can strip the thread engagement in thin-gauge material.
