Value Collection SMPOTI0-800870-6-050B Sheet Metal Screw No 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPOTI0-800870-6-050B is a No. 8 oval head Phillips sheet metal screw designed for fastening sheet metal and light-gauge materials in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. It measures 7/8 inches in overall length and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. The Type AB point style allows for self-tapping entry into pre-punched or drilled sheet metal without a separate nut. The Phillips No. 2 drive is compatible with standard power drivers and hand screwdrivers common on any job site. Licensed tradespeople and experienced installers working with ductwork, panels, and enclosures will find this a standard consumable fastener.

This screw is suited for light-duty sheet metal assembly in residential and commercial HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and similar thin-gauge metal fabrication. The oval head profile sits slightly above the material surface, providing a finished appearance where fastener heads remain visible. It is a staple fastener for HVAC sheet metal installers, electricians, and maintenance technicians working with light-gauge steel panels and covers. This item is sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per package.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers using a No. 2 Phillips bit with a power driver or hand screwdriver. Ensure the receiving material is pre-punched or drilled to the appropriate pilot hole size for the Type AB point before driving. Do not overdrive, as sheet metal threads strip easily in thin-gauge material. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA duct construction standards or NEC enclosure requirements as appropriate to the application.
