Value Collection SMPPI0-800627-050B No. 8 Pan Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPPI0-800627-050B is a No. 8 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, ductwork, and light-gauge steel assemblies. It uses a Phillips drive and a Type AB point, which combines a tapered tip for self-starting with thread-cutting action that grips without a pre-tapped hole. The screw measures 5/8 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty applications. This fastener ships in a minimum pack of 50 pieces.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC sheet metal work, electrical enclosure assembly, light-gauge framing, and general trade applications where a self-starting metal fastener is needed. The pan head profile offers a low-profile bearing surface and good driver engagement, making it suitable for locations where a flat or oval head would be impractical. Installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers in both residential and light commercial settings.

Key Features

• Type AB point self-starts in sheet metal without pre-drilling in most light-gauge applications
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface and positive Phillips driver fit
• Grade 2 steel construction suited for standard indoor fastening loads
• Zinc finish offers basic corrosion resistance for interior use
• 5/8 inch length under head fits typical thin-panel and duct-flange applications
• Sold in packs of 50 for job-site and service-truck stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 Type AB pan head sheet metal screw compatible with light-gauge steel panels, HVAC ductwork flanges, and electrical enclosures that accept a No. 8 thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips-head screwdriver or a powered driver set to a controlled clutch setting to avoid stripping the head or over-driving into thin material. Ensure the mating material is properly supported and clamped before driving. For electrical enclosure work, follow NEC guidelines and de-energize equipment before fastening panels. Avoid applying excessive torque, which can strip the thread form in light-gauge sheet metal.
