Value Collection 0844MSP 8-32 Pan Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0844MSP is a pan head slotted machine screw designed for general fastening applications in light industrial, mechanical, and electrical assembly work. It features an 8-32 thread size and a 2.75-inch length under head, making it well suited for through-bolting panels, enclosures, brackets, and light structural assemblies. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish, it meets the ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards for inch-series machine screws. The zinc coating provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor or protected environments. Installation is straightforward with a standard flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit driver.

This screw is used in a broad range of trade and light industrial applications including electrical panel assembly, equipment mounting, and general mechanical fastening where an 8-32 thread pattern is specified. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface without requiring a countersunk hole. It is sold without a washer. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order.

Installation Notes

Install with an appropriately sized flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving. Do not overtighten — apply torque appropriate for the mating material and assembly requirements as specified in the relevant equipment service documentation. For electrical enclosure work, follow applicable NEC guidelines for fastener placement and panel integrity.
