Value Collection SMPFI0-801000-100BX Sheet Metal Screw No. 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPFI0-801000-100BX is a No. 8 flat head Phillips sheet metal screw with a 1-inch overall length, supplied in a box of 100. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, this screw is designed for fastening thin metal panels, ductwork, electrical enclosures, brackets, and similar sheet metal assemblies. The Type AB point type allows for self-starting penetration into pre-punched or pre-drilled sheet metal without the need for a separate tapping step. The flat head profile sits flush with the material surface when fully driven, making it appropriate for applications where a smooth finish is required.

This screw is a standard fastener used across HVAC, electrical, and light fabrication trades. Common applications include securing sheet metal duct sections, attaching junction box covers, fastening equipment access panels, and general metal-to-metal assembly work. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power drivers and hand screwdrivers used in field and shop installations. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for interior and protected installations. This box quantity of 100 units suits routine service calls and small installation jobs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips screwdriver or a power driver fitted with a Phillips bit. Ensure the sheet metal is pre-punched or pre-drilled to the correct pilot hole diameter for a No. 8 Type AB screw before driving. Do not overdrive the screw, as the flat head can countersink past the surface and distort thin sheet metal. Zinc-finished fasteners are intended for dry or protected interior environments and should not be substituted for corrosion-rated hardware in wet or outdoor locations.
