Value Collection SMPOI0-800507-050B No. 8 Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPOI0-800507-050B is a No. 8 sheet metal screw with a flat oval pan head profile and Phillips drive, designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, and ductwork in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal applications. Manufactured from Grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this screw measures 0.5 inches in overall length. The Type AB point provides a self-starting thread form that bites into light-gauge steel and other sheet materials without pre-drilling in many applications. It is installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers during fabrication and field assembly.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a No. 8 sheet metal fastener is required. Common applications include securing electrical enclosures, junction box covers, ductwork flanges, sheet metal panels, and equipment access panels. The flat oval pan head seats flush with a low-profile domed appearance, distributing clamp load across the material surface and reducing the risk of pull-through in thin-gauge workpieces. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per pack.

Key Features

• No. 8 thread size with Type AB self-starting point for use in light-gauge sheet metal
• Phillips No. 2 drive for compatibility with standard power drivers and hand screwdrivers
• Flat oval pan head profile combines low seating profile with a domed top surface
• Grade 1016/1024 steel construction meets AISI 1016 material standards
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion protection in dry indoor environments
• Conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.6.4, ASME B18.6.3, and SAE J933 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 Type AB sheet metal screw for use in light-gauge steel panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC ductwork, and similar thin-metal fastening applications where a 0.5-inch overall length Phillips-drive fastener is required.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a No. 2 Phillips bit in a hand driver or variable-speed power drill. Ensure the mating material gauge is appropriate for a No. 8 Type AB thread form before driving to avoid stripping. Do not overtorque — stop driving once the head seats flush to prevent deforming the material or damaging the drive recess. Follow applicable codes such as NEC or SMACNA guidelines when fastening electrical enclosures or ductwork.
