L H Dottie Co T832112SP 8-32 X 1.5 in Spanner Pan Head Screw

Product Description

The L H Dottie CO T832112SP is a stainless steel pan head machine screw with a spanner drive, sized at 8-32 thread and 1.5 inches in length. The pan head profile sits flush against the surface and distributes clamping load evenly, while the spanner drive requires a two-hole spanner bit, adding a layer of tamper resistance over standard slotted or Phillips fasteners. This screw is sold individually as a single unit. Electricians, panel technicians, and enclosure installers reach for spanner-drive hardware when tamper resistance is required by specification or job scope.

This fastener is suited for securing covers, panels, junction boxes, and enclosures in electrical, low-voltage, and light mechanical applications. The 8-32 thread is a standard machine thread compatible with commonly tapped holes in electrical enclosures and equipment panels. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion, making it appropriate for installations in damp or outdoor locations where carbon steel fasteners would degrade.

Key Features

• Spanner pan head drive provides tamper resistance in accessible or public-facing installations
• 8-32 unified coarse thread fits standard tapped holes in electrical enclosures and panel covers
• 1.5-inch length accommodates typical cover and bracket thicknesses
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in damp or outdoor environments
• Sold as a single unit for replacement or small-quantity needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 machine screw replacement for electrical enclosures, panel covers, and equipment requiring a tamper-resistant spanner pan head fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a two-hole spanner bit sized for the 8-32 pan head. De-energize all electrical equipment before removing or reinstalling panel cover screws. Verify that the mating tapped hole is clean and undamaged before driving the screw to avoid cross-threading stainless steel fasteners, which can gall under excessive torque. Follow applicable NEC requirements for enclosure integrity and cover fastening.
