Value Collection 0803MSL 8-32 Fillister Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0803MSL is a fillister head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening applications requiring a compact, close-tolerance head profile. This screw features an 8-32 thread size with a 3/16-inch length under head, a slotted drive, and a zinc finish over steel construction. The fillister head provides a taller, narrower head than a pan head, making it well suited for applications where the fastener must seat into a counterbored hole. It conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. Electricians, HVAC technicians, panel fabricators, and industrial maintenance personnel commonly use this style of screw in equipment assembly and enclosure work.

This machine screw is used in light- to medium-duty fastening of metal panels, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, equipment housings, and similar assemblies. The 8-32 thread is a common size in control boards, terminal blocks, and instrumentation mounting. Its slotted drive is compatible with standard flathead screwdrivers. This screw ships in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package, making it appropriate for shop stock, service vans, and production use.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flathead screwdriver sized to fit the slotted drive; using an oversized driver can damage the head slot or surrounding material. De-energize all electrical equipment and verify lockout before installing or removing fasteners in live panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten into tapped holes in thin sheet metal, as this can strip the receiving thread. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening within electrical enclosures.
