Value Collection SMPOTI0-800500-6-050B No.8 Oval Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPOTI0-800500-6-050B is a No. 8 oval head sheet metal screw with a Phillips drive, designed for fastening thin metal panels, brackets, and sheet stock in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. Manufactured from Grade 1016/1024 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this screw measures 0.5 inches in overall length and features a Type AB point for self-starting in pre-drilled or punched holes. It ships in a minimum quantity of 50 pieces per order and is suited for high-volume service and installation work.

This screw is commonly used in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies found in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and equipment panels. The oval head profile provides a low-profile, finished appearance where the fastener is visible after installation. The No. 2 Phillips drive is compatible with standard power drivers and hand screwdrivers used daily in the field, making it a practical choice for residential and light commercial service work.

Compatibility

Designed for use in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, equipment panels, and general metal fabrication where a No. 8 oval head sheet metal screw with a Type AB point is specified.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by qualified HVAC technicians, electricians, and general tradespeople using a No. 2 Phillips bit in a hand or power driver. Always pre-drill or punch the appropriate pilot hole size for the gauge of sheet metal being fastened to avoid distortion or splitting. De-energize electrical equipment and shut down HVAC systems before fastening into enclosures or panels. Do not overtorque, as the zinc finish and light-gauge base material can be damaged by excessive drive force.
