Value Collection 0836MSP Pan Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0836MSP is a pan head, slotted drive machine screw intended for general-purpose mechanical assembly in trade and industrial applications. Threaded 8-32 with a length under head of 2.25 inches, this screw is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. It conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it a predictable, code-traceable fastener for structural and equipment-mounting tasks. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors commonly use 8-32 machine screws when securing panels, junction boxes, brackets, and equipment enclosures. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 per package.

This fastener is suited for light-gauge steel, aluminum, and plastic assemblies where an 8-32 thread is specified. Pan head geometry provides a low-profile, wide-bearing surface without a countersink, making it appropriate for surface-mount applications on sheet metal panels, control enclosures, and equipment chassis. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver, which is common in field service environments where specialized tooling may not be available.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot. Ensure the mating thread or tapped hole is 8-32 before installation to avoid cross-threading. De-energize any electrical equipment before working in enclosures or panels where these screws are used. Do not overtighten into plastic or thin sheet metal substrates, as the material may strip.
