Value Collection 0804ESP 8-32 X 1/4 in Pan Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0804ESP is a pan head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in light industrial, electrical, and mechanical assembly applications. It features an 8-32 unified coarse thread and a 1/4-inch length under head, making it well suited for securing panels, brackets, and components where a low-profile head and moderate clamping force are required. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. The steel construction carries a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance in indoor environments. This lot is sold in multiples of 100 units per order.

This screw is commonly used by electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assemblers when fastening control panels, junction boxes, electrical enclosures, and light sheet-metal assemblies. The pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface than a flat head, making it appropriate where countersinking is not practical or desired. The 8-32 thread size is a standard coarse pitch that mates with tapped holes and standard hex nuts across a wide range of commercial and industrial hardware.

Key Features

• 8-32 unified coarse thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes and hardware
• 1/4-inch length under head suits thin-panel and light sheet-metal fastening
• Pan head profile provides broad bearing surface without countersinking
• Slotted drive accommodates flat-blade screwdrivers and standard hand tools
• Zinc finish on steel construction offers basic indoor corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.13a and SAE J82 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw for use in any application requiring an 8-32 threaded fastener with a pan head slotted drive, including control panels, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head. Verify the mating tapped hole or nut is 8-32 thread before installation. Do not overtighten, as the steel screw can strip light sheet-metal threads or crack plastic bosses. Power down any electrical equipment before fastening or removing hardware inside live panels, in accordance with applicable NEC lockout/tagout procedures.
