Value Collection SMPPI0-800870-100BX Sheet Metal Screw 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPPI0-800870-100BX is a Type AB point sheet metal screw designed for fast, reliable fastening in light-gauge sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-material assemblies. It features a pan head profile with a Phillips drive, allowing standard screwdriver or drill-driver installation. The fastener measures 0.875 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. Sold in a box of 100, this screw suits high-volume service work where consistent hardware supply matters. Total package weight is 0.026 pounds.

This screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC installations for securing duct panels, junction covers, electrical knockout blanks, and sheet metal brackets. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal workers reach for the pan head Phillips configuration when working in tight clearances where a low-profile head is preferred over hex or flat head alternatives. The Type AB point self-taps into pre-punched or drilled pilot holes in light-gauge steel without requiring a separate tapping step.

Key Features

• Type AB self-tapping point drives directly into light-gauge sheet metal without pre-threading
• Pan head profile provides a low-profile, wide-bearing surface for sheet metal applications
• Phillips drive compatible with standard screwdrivers and power drill drivers
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc finish for general-duty corrosion resistance
• Size 8 thread, 0.875 inches length under head for consistent fitment in standard sheet metal gauges
• Packaged in a 100-count box for trade and service use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Size 8 Type AB pan head sheet metal screw suited for light-gauge steel assemblies, HVAC ductwork panels, electrical enclosures, and similar sheet metal fabrication and service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and electricians using a Phillips screwdriver or power drill driver with a Phillips bit. Verify pilot hole size matches the screw thread diameter to prevent stripping in thin-gauge material. Apply consistent, controlled torque to seat the pan head flush without distorting the sheet metal. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA duct construction standards and NEC enclosure requirements where fastener type and spacing are specified.
