Value Collection SMSPI0-801750-100BX Sheet Metal Screw No. 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SMSPI0-801750-100BX is a No. 8 pan head sheet metal screw with a slotted drive and Type AB point, sold in a box of 100. It measures 1-3/4 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. The Type AB point is self-tapping, allowing the fastener to cut its own thread path into sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and similar thin-material substrates without a pre-tapped hole. These fasteners are used across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general sheet metal fabrication work wherever a reliable, low-profile pan head is required.

This screw is suited for light-to-medium duty sheet metal assembly in both residential and commercial applications. Common uses include securing HVAC duct panels, junction box covers, equipment housings, and sheet metal flanges. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted power bits. The pan head provides a wide, low-profile bearing surface and sits flush against the workpiece face without countersinking. Sold in a minimum quantity of 100 per order, the box is well suited for service vans and shop stock.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers during equipment assembly or enclosure work. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening into or near electrical enclosures. Use a properly sized flat-blade bit to avoid cam-out and damage to the slotted drive head. For thin-gauge materials, pilot holes may be used to reduce distortion, though the Type AB point is designed for direct-drive installation.
