Value Collection 0840MSL 8-32 Fillister Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0840MSL is a fillister head machine screw designed for general mechanical fastening in metal assemblies, enclosures, and equipment. It features an 8-32 unified coarse thread and measures 2.5 inches in length under the head. The fillister head profile offers a tall, narrow head with a deep slotted drive, providing good driver engagement and a clean appearance in counterbored holes. Made from steel with a zinc finish, this screw meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it a reliable choice for industrial, electrical, and mechanical applications. Installation is performed by licensed technicians and experienced tradespeople.

This screw is suited for use in panel assembly, equipment enclosures, junction boxes, and general mechanical fabrication where a slotted fillister head fastener is specified. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty environments. It is ordered in multiples of 100 units, making it appropriate for shops, service fleets, and production environments maintaining screw inventory by thread size and drive type.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit sized for the screw head to avoid cam-out or slot damage. Thread engagement should be confirmed in the receiving material before applying torque. Power down or de-energize any assembly before installing screws in or near electrical components. Follow applicable codes including NEC requirements when fastening within electrical enclosures.
