Description
The HILLMAN FASTENERS 80051 is a zinc-plated sheet metal screw designed for fastening thin metal panels, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and light-gauge sheet metal assemblies. The No. 8 diameter by 1-1/4 inch length pan head configuration with Phillips drive provides a wide bearing surface and straightforward installation with a standard No. 2 Phillips bit. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty mechanical applications. Each package contains 100 screws, supporting production installs and service calls that require consistent fastener stock on hand.
These sheet metal screws are used across HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical trades wherever thin-gauge metal panels need to be joined or secured. Typical applications include duct assembly, junction box covers, access panel attachment, and sheet metal fabrication. The self-tapping design cuts its own thread into light-gauge sheet metal without requiring a pre-tapped hole, making it a standard go-to fastener for field and shop work.
Key Features
- No. 8 x 1-1/4 inch size for light-gauge sheet metal fastening
- Phillips pan head drive for wide bearing surface and easy bit engagement
- Zinc plating for corrosion resistance in dry and semi-protected environments
- Self-tapping thread cuts into sheet metal without pre-tapping
- 100-count pack reduces restocking frequency on active job sites
Compatibility
Designed for use with light-gauge sheet metal applications including HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal panel assembly.
Installation Notes
Install with a No. 2 Phillips bit using a drill or power driver set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the pan head. Ensure sheet metal layers are clamped flush before driving the screw. Power down electrical equipment before fastening near energized components. Follow applicable NEC or IFGC guidelines when installing fasteners in proximity to electrical or gas systems.
