Clearance 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.
