Value Collection 0828MSP 8-32 X 1-3/4 in Pan Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0828MSP is a pan head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in metal assemblies, enclosures, and mechanical components. It features an 8-32 thread size and measures 1-3/4 inches in length under the head, giving technicians a reliable grip depth for moderate-thickness material. The slotted drive accommodates standard flat-head screwdrivers for quick installation or removal in tight spaces. Manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it a straightforward choice where a corrosion-resistant, code-conforming fastener is required. Electricians, HVAC techs, and plumbers commonly use this screw size when securing panels, brackets, and equipment covers.

This screw is suited for light to medium-duty applications in residential and commercial settings. Common uses include securing electrical enclosure panels, HVAC unit covers, control board mounting brackets, and plumbing access panels. The pan head profile sits flat against the material surface and distributes clamping load evenly, reducing the risk of surface distortion on thin sheet metal or plastic substrates. Sold in multiples of 100 per order, this fastener is practical for service trucks and shop stock.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 inch-series machine screw for use in any application calling for an 8-32 pan head slotted fastener per ASME B18.6.3 specifications.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by hand trades including electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers using a standard flat-head screwdriver sized to the slot. Always de-energize and lock out electrical equipment before removing or installing panel fasteners. Use a properly fitting screwdriver blade to avoid stripping the slot or damaging adjacent components. Do not overtighten into thin sheet metal or thermoplastic substrates, as pan head screws can distort softer materials under excessive torque.
