Value Collection 0848MCR 8-32x3 Round Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0848MCR is a standard inch-series machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in metal, plastic, and composite assemblies. It features an 8-32 thread size with a 3-inch length measured under the head, a round head profile, and a combination slotted and Phillips drive for installation flexibility. The screw is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance and is rated to material grade J82. Compliance with ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional standards makes it a reliable choice for repeatable, spec-driven assembly work across HVAC, electrical, and light mechanical applications.

This fastener is suited for residential and commercial trade applications where a standard 8-32 machine screw is required. Common uses include securing control boards, panel covers, junction box hardware, access panels, and equipment enclosures. The round head provides a low-profile seating surface appropriate for clearance-sensitive assemblies. Installation is performed with a standard slotted or Phillips screwdriver or a matching power-driver bit. Sold in multiples of 100 units to support production and service inventory needs.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or mechanical trades using a No. 2 Phillips bit or a flat-blade screwdriver of appropriate width. De-energize all electrical equipment before removing or replacing panel fasteners. Do not overtighten into tapped plastic housings, as thread stripping can occur. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidance where specified.
