Value Collection 0803MSP 8-32 Pan Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0803MSP is a zinc-plated steel machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening applications in trade and industrial settings. It features an 8-32 thread size with a pan head and slotted drive, measuring 3/16 inch in length under the head. Manufactured to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, this screw delivers consistent dimensional accuracy and reliable clamping force for light-duty mechanical assemblies. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance in dry to mildly humid environments. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers commonly use this fastener when securing panels, covers, and control enclosures during routine service and installation work.

This machine screw suits residential and commercial applications where an 8-32 threaded fastener with a low-profile pan head is required. Typical uses include securing junction box covers, control board mounting brackets, panel enclosures, and equipment housings. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers, making it accessible with common hand tools in the field. Sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, this SKU is suited for shops and contractors who maintain fastener stock on hand for service calls and equipment installations.
