Value Collection SMPFI0-802500-100BX No. 8 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPFI0-802500-100BX is a No. 8 flat head sheet metal screw designed for secure fastening in thin-gauge metal applications. It features a Phillips drive and a Type AB point, which combines the self-tapping thread-cutting action of a Type A point with the blunt starting tip of a Type B point for reliable thread engagement in pre-punched or drilled holes. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this screw measures 2.5 inches in overall length. This box contains 100 screws and is sized for standard trade and light industrial fastening tasks.

This screw is well suited for HVAC duct assembly, electrical enclosure work, sheet metal panel attachment, and general trade applications where a countersunk flat head profile is required for flush-surface seating. The Phillips drive is compatible with common power drivers and hand tools used in the field. The Type AB point threads into pre-punched holes in sheet metal without requiring a separate tap, making installation straightforward in production or service environments.

Key Features

• No. 8 thread size for common sheet metal fastening applications
• Flat head profile seats flush with the material surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power drivers and screwdrivers
• Type AB point self-taps into pre-punched or drilled sheet metal holes
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty applications
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable holding strength in light to medium duty use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for sheet metal assemblies requiring a No. 8 flat head Phillips drive screw with a Type AB point and 2.5-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws should be installed by qualified tradespeople familiar with the fastener requirements of the application, including HVAC duct fabricators, electricians, and sheet metal workers. Power down or de-energize any associated electrical or mechanical equipment before beginning fastener work on enclosures or duct sections. Use a correctly sized Phillips bit to avoid cam-out and head damage, especially when driving into pre-punched holes at higher torque settings. Ensure the receiving material is pre-punched or pre-drilled to the appropriate pilot hole size for No. 8 Type AB thread engagement.
