#8 X 1-1/8" Type AB Self Tapping Sheet Metal Screws | Pan Head | Phillips Drive | Steel Zinc & Bake (5000/Pkg.)

Type AB Self Tapping Sheet Metal Screws provide reliable fastening for sheet metal assemblies. The pan head with Phillips drive supports flush seating and consistent torque when fastening into thin-gauge steel, while a Zinc & Bake finish delivers durable corrosion resistance.

Specs

• Diameter: No. 8
• Length: 1-1/8 inch
• Drive type: Phillips
• Finish: Zinc & Bake
• Material: Steel
• Thread type: Self tapping

Features

• Self tapping capability: Inserts its own mating threads in compatible sheet metal, enabling rapid assembly without pre-drilled pilot holes for standard gauge materials.
• Pan head geometry: Low-profile seating distributes clamping force while minimizing protrusion in enclosed assemblies.
• Phillips drive: Positive engagement with compatible drivers reduces cam-out and slippage during installation.
• Finish Zinc & Bake: Zinc plating with baked coating provides corrosion resistance for typical metal fastening applications.
• Material compatibility: Steel substrate suitable for ferrous metal applications, brackets, enclosures, and metal framework components.
• Use cases: Ideal for appliance panels, HVAC duct work, electrical enclosures, automotive trim, and chassis assemblies where self tapping capability is advantageous.
• Installation considerations: Use with appropriate driver and correct torque to avoid thread stripping; verify material thickness falls within standard self tapping guidelines for sheet metal screws.
