Value Collection SMPPI0-801000-100BX Sheet Metal Screw No 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMPPI0-801000-100BX is a No. 8 pan head sheet metal screw designed for fastening light-gauge metal, sheet metal ductwork, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-material assemblies. The Phillips drive allows for fast installation with standard power tools. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, this screw provides corrosion resistance suitable for dry indoor applications. The Type AB point style cuts its own thread on first drive, eliminating the need for pre-tapped holes in most sheet metal applications. Measuring 1 inch in length under head, it suits a wide range of shallow-depth fastening tasks encountered in HVAC, electrical, and general sheet metal work.

This screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications where technicians need a reliable, self-starting fastener for thin-gauge steel. Typical uses include securing HVAC duct sections, attaching junction box covers, fastening sheet metal panels, and general metal-to-metal assembly. The pan head profile offers a wide bearing surface and low-profile head that sits flat against the workpiece. This SKU is sold in a box of 100, making it a practical shop stock item for service vans and installation crews.

Key Features

• Type AB point self-taps into light-gauge sheet metal without pre-drilling a threaded hole
• Pan head design provides a wide bearing surface and sits flush against flat sheet stock
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits and power screwdrivers
• Grade 2 steel construction delivers adequate shear and tensile strength for sheet metal fastening
• Zinc finish provides corrosion resistance for dry indoor service environments
• Box of 100 supports bulk stocking for high-volume installation or service work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 pan head sheet metal screw suitable for light-gauge steel applications including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal assemblies where a Type AB thread-forming point is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers as part of routine assembly and service work. Always ensure the workpiece material gauge is appropriate for a No. 8 Type AB screw to prevent thread stripping. Use a No. 2 Phillips bit at controlled torque to avoid cam-out or overdriving. Follow applicable codes such as SMACNA duct construction standards or NEC requirements when fastening ductwork or electrical enclosures.
