It measures 7\/8 inches in overall length and features a Type A point for self-starting in pre-punched or drilled sheet metal. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, this screw resists corrosion in typical indoor mechanical applications. The flat head sits flush with the material surface once driven, making it a practical choice where a low-profile fastener is required. Installation is straightforward with a standard Phillips bit driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fastener is commonly used in HVAC ductwork assembly, light-gauge sheet metal fabrication, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical panel work. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion protection suitable for dry or mildly humid indoor environments. The Type A point is engineered for sheet metal gauges where a sharp tapered tip aids thread engagement without a pilot tap. Trades including HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians use this size screw routinely for securing access panels, junction box covers, and duct flanges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo. 8 thread size for reliable grip in standard sheet metal gauges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7\/8 inch overall length for thin to medium sheet stock applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat head profile sits flush with the work surface when fully driven\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePhillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits and screwdrivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType A point self-starts in pre-punched holes without a tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-finished Grade 2 steel construction for indoor corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard No. 8 flat head Phillips Type A sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel panels, ductwork, and enclosure assemblies where a flush-seating fastener is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a Phillips No. 2 bit in a hand or power screwdriver. Always de-energize electrical enclosures and shut down air-handling equipment before opening panels or adding fasteners. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the sheet metal threads or deform thin-gauge material. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA duct construction standards or NEC enclosure guidelines for fastener spacing and torque practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Phillips\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0038 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SMPFI0-800870-100BX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51689323462962,"sku":"SMPFI0-800870-100BX","price":1012.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b3ed0c3d327ffb4224cbd5aeb7f20ad9.jpg?v=1788257547","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-smpfi0-800870-100bx-sheet-metal-screw-no-8","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
