Value Collection V93179PS 8 Round Head Sheet Metal Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION V93179PS is a size 8 round head sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal materials in mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. Built from 18-8 stainless steel, this screw offers solid corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor installations. It features a Type U drive point for reliable thread engagement in sheet metal and light-gauge substrates. With a length under head of 0.25 inches, this fastener is suited for shallow-depth applications where a low-profile round head is required. Sold in minimum order quantities of 1,000 pieces, making it a practical choice for production or service stock.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and sheet metal workers for securing ductwork, junction boxes, enclosures, access panels, and light-gauge metal assemblies. The round head profile distributes clamping load across the material surface, reducing the risk of pull-through in thinner gauges. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for installations where moisture, humidity, or mild chemical exposure is a factor, such as mechanical rooms, rooftop units, and outdoor electrical enclosures.

Key Features

• Round head profile provides a low-profile, flush-adjacent seating surface
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in damp or outdoor environments
• 0.25 inch length under head suited for thin-gauge and shallow fastening applications
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and ASME B18.6.4 standards
• Available in bulk quantities of 1,000 for production and service stock use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system sheet metal screw for use with light-gauge steel, aluminum, and similar metal substrates common in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal screws are typically driven by HVAC technicians, electricians, or sheet metal workers using a power driver or hand screwdriver with the appropriate bit. Always pre-drill or use a self-piercing application consistent with the Type U point design to avoid material distortion. Ensure the metal substrate thickness is appropriate for the selected screw length to achieve full thread engagement. Follow applicable NEC or mechanical code guidelines when fastening electrical enclosures or ductwork assemblies.
