Value Collection 580315PR 8-32 X 0.5 in Flat Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 580315PR is a flat head slotted machine screw designed for general mechanical fastening applications. It features an 8-32 unified coarse thread (UNC) and an overall length of 0.5 inches. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, this screw delivers adequate corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty environments. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when properly countersunk, making it suitable for panels, enclosures, and equipment assemblies where a low-profile fastener is required. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians install this type of fastener using a standard slotted screwdriver or flat-blade bit driver.

This screw is well suited for light mechanical and electrical assembly work, including mounting components inside control panels, junction boxes, HVAC equipment cabinets, and similar sheet metal or light-gauge steel assemblies. The 8-32 thread size is a common designation in both residential and commercial equipment, making this screw a staple in service kits and maintenance stock. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it practical for stocking purposes.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock fastener for any application requiring an 8-32 UNC flat head slotted machine screw with a 0.5 inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard flat-blade screwdriver or a slotted bit driver sized to the screw head. Ensure the receiving hole is properly tapped to 8-32 UNC before installation to avoid cross-threading. When fastening into electrical enclosures or equipment panels, de-energize all circuits before beginning work in accordance with NFPA 70E lockout/tagout procedures. Do not overtighten, as Grade 2 steel has lower yield strength than higher-grade fasteners.
