Value Collection 0808MH 8-32 X 0.5 in Hex Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0808MH is a hex head machine screw with a hex drive, designed for secure mechanical fastening in a wide range of light-duty to medium-duty applications. This screw features an 8-32 thread size with a 0.5-inch length under head, manufactured from steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. Conforming to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, the 0808MH is a straightforward, reliable fastener used by mechanical assemblers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and maintenance professionals wherever a standardized inch-series machine screw is required.

This screw is suited for general mechanical assembly, panel mounting, equipment enclosures, and light structural fastening tasks. The 8-32 thread is one of the most common coarse-thread inch-series machine screw sizes, making it a go-to choice for mounting components in electrical panels, HVAC equipment covers, control boxes, and similar assemblies. The hex drive allows installation with a standard hex key or socket driver, providing firm torque engagement without cam-out risk.

Key Features

• 8-32 thread size with 0.5-inch length under head for compact fastening applications
• Hex head with hex drive for reliable torque transfer using standard hex tools
• Steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance in indoor environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards
• No washer — clean, low-profile seating directly against mating surface

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series 8-32 machine screw for general mechanical assembly and equipment fastening applications where ASME B18.6.3 or SAE J82 compliance is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a hex key and appropriate socket or nut driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Apply only hand-tight torque initially, then snug to specification using a calibrated driver to avoid stripping steel threads. Sold in multiples of 100 — confirm quantity requirements before ordering.
