Value Collection 0806EH 8-32 X 3/8 in Hex Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0806EH is a hex head machine screw with a hex drive, designed for general-purpose fastening in metal assemblies and mechanical applications. Built from steel with a zinc-plated finish, it provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty industrial use. The screw features an 8-32 thread and a 3/8-inch length measured under the head. An external tooth washer style is integrated into the design. These screws meet ASME B18.13a and SAE J82 standards, confirming dimensional and material compliance. Typically installed by maintenance technicians, machinists, and assembly workers across HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical trades.

This fastener is suited for light-to-medium clamping applications where a hex head and hex drive combination provides positive tool engagement. The 8-32 thread size is common in sheet metal enclosures, electrical panels, HVAC equipment chassis, and control board mounting. The external tooth lock feature helps resist loosening from vibration in mechanical and electrical assemblies.

Key Features

• 8-32 thread size for compatibility with standard tapped holes in metal assemblies
• Hex head with hex drive for positive tool engagement and high torque transfer
• Zinc-plated steel construction for corrosion resistance in dry and light-duty environments
• External tooth washer style helps resist fastener loosening due to vibration
• Length under head: 3/8 inches
• Meets ASME B18.13a and SAE J82 standards for dimensional and material compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw for use in any application requiring an 8-32 thread with a 3/8-inch length under head, hex head, and hex drive configuration.

Installation Notes

Install with a hex key or hex socket driver sized to the head. Ensure the mating thread in the receiving material is properly tapped to 8-32 before installation. Power down any electrical equipment before installing or removing fasteners in live enclosures or control panels. Do not over-torque; steel threads in thin sheet metal can strip if excessive force is applied.
