Value Collection 580323PR Machine Screw 8-32 Flat Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 580323PR is a flat head, slotted machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in metal, plastic, and composite assemblies. It features an 8-32 UNC thread with a 3/4-inch overall length. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, this screw delivers corrosion resistance suitable for indoor mechanical assemblies and light-duty hardware applications. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when countersunk correctly, making it a standard choice for panel work, electrical enclosures, and light structural fastening. Sold in multiples of 100, it is well suited for technicians and assemblers stocking hardware for ongoing service or production work.

This screw is appropriate for use in residential and commercial maintenance, electrical panel assembly, HVAC equipment enclosures, and general mechanical fastening where an 8-32 threaded fastener is specified. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver, making it accessible with basic hand tools. The zinc finish provides adequate protection in dry or low-humidity environments. Grade 2 steel construction meets common requirements for non-structural mechanical fastening applications across multiple trades.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• Flat head profile for flush-mount countersunk installations
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable tensile strength in light-duty applications
• Zinc finish for corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments
• 3/4-inch overall length suits a wide range of panel and enclosure thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC machine screw for general-purpose use in mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and any application requiring a flat head slotted fastener of this thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly countersunk or counterbored hole to seat the flat head flush with the workpiece surface. A calibrated torque screwdriver is recommended to avoid stripping the slotted drive or overloading Grade 2 threads. Always ensure the mating material is tapped to 8-32 UNC specification before driving the screw. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening electrical or HVAC enclosure panels.
