Value Collection SMSFI0-800620-100BX Sheet Metal Screw No 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMSFI0-800620-100BX is a No. 8 flat head slotted sheet metal screw engineered for secure fastening in light-gauge metal assemblies. At 5/8 inches overall length, this screw is sized for thin-panel applications where a flush, countersunk finish is required. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, it resists corrosion in typical indoor service environments. The flat head profile seats flush with or slightly below the material surface, reducing snag points in finished assemblies. Sold in a box of 100, this fastener is well suited for production work, field repair, and service replacement tasks across HVAC, electrical enclosure, and sheet metal fabrication applications.

This screw is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial sheet metal work, including duct fabrication, HVAC equipment panels, electrical junction boxes, and general metal-to-metal fastening. The Type A and Type AB point options provide versatility across different gauge thicknesses. Type A points are suited for thinner gauges, while Type AB points offer finer thread pitch for slightly heavier stock. The slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bits, which are common in field service kits. Sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, and electricians regularly use this fastener type during equipment assembly and panel installation.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fastener for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies, including HVAC ductwork, equipment enclosures, and electrical panels requiring a No. 8 flat head slotted sheet metal screw at 5/8 inch length.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws of this type are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal fabricators using a flat-blade screwdriver or matching bit driver. De-energize all electrical panels and shut down HVAC equipment before fastening or removing screws on live enclosures. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended when working with heavier gauge stock to prevent material distortion. Do not overtighten, as the threads can strip in thin-gauge metal.
