Value Collection 0805MSP 8-32 X 5/16 Pan Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0805MSP is a pan head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in metal assemblies, enclosures, and equipment. It is threaded 8-32 and measures 5/16 inch in length under head. The pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface and low-profile finish, while the slotted drive allows installation with a standard flathead screwdriver. The steel base material is finished with zinc plating to provide corrosion resistance in typical indoor service environments. This screw conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it suitable for use in applications where standard fastener specifications are required. Maintenance technicians, field service professionals, and assembly personnel across HVAC, electrical, and general equipment trades commonly use screws of this type.

This screw is well suited for securing panels, brackets, nameplates, and light-duty assemblies in residential and commercial equipment. Common applications include control box covers, junction box lids, and equipment access panels where a standard 8-32 threaded hole or clearance hole with nut is present. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flathead screwdrivers and manual bit sets. Sold individually as a single-piece package with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized tooling — a standard flathead screwdriver or slotted bit driver is sufficient. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before driving to avoid cross-threading. Power down any equipment fully before replacing fasteners on electrical enclosures or control panels. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when working inside energized enclosures.
