Value Collection 0804EH 8-32 X 0.25 in Hex Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0804EH is a hex-head machine screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in light-duty to medium-duty assemblies. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish, it measures 0.25 inches in length under head and carries an 8-32 thread size. The hex drive accepts a standard hex wrench or hex bit, and the external-tooth washer style provides added vibration resistance at the bearing surface. This fastener conforms to ASME B18.13a and SAE J82 standards, making it appropriate for use in general industrial, electrical panel, and equipment assembly applications where a standardized, corrosion-resistant fastener is required.

The 0804EH is suited for residential and commercial applications where a compact, low-profile fastener is needed in tight clearance areas. Typical use cases include securing panels, brackets, and light sheet metal components in HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies. The 8-32 thread is one of the most common machine screw threads in trade work, fitting a wide range of standard tapped holes and threaded inserts. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package.

Key Features

• 8-32 thread size conforms to ASME B18.13a and SAE J82 standards
• 0.25-inch length under head for low-profile, tight-clearance installations
• Hex head with hex drive accepts standard hex wrenches and hex bit drivers
• External-tooth washer style integrated for improved grip and vibration resistance
• Steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance in indoor applications
• Material Grade J82 for consistent mechanical performance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 machine screw replacement or new-install fastener compatible with any tapped hole or threaded insert meeting ASME B18.13a and SAE J82 specifications in inch-measurement systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, HVAC technicians, or mechanical assembly technicians using a hex wrench or hex bit driver sized to the fastener. De-energize all electrical equipment and relieve any system pressure before accessing fastened components. Do not overtighten, as steel machine screws in tapped holes can strip threads if torqued beyond the material limits of the mating component. Inspect the mating thread for damage before installation to ensure full thread engagement.
