Value Collection 580337PR 8-32 Flat Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 580337PR is an 8-32 x 1-1/4 inch overall length machine screw with a flat head and slotted drive. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, it provides reliable corrosion resistance for general fastening applications. The Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form ensures broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts. This screw is suited for use by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general tradespeople who need a dependable, widely available fastener for panel assembly, equipment mounting, and fixture installation.

This machine screw is commonly used in light-duty mechanical and electrical assemblies where a countersunk flat head profile is required for a flush-mount finish. Typical applications include securing electrical enclosure covers, control panel components, and sheet metal assemblies in both residential and commercial settings. The slotted drive accommodates a standard flat-blade screwdriver, making it accessible with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-blade screwdriver sized for a number 8 slotted head. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to 8-32 UNC before driving the screw to avoid cross-threading. Power down any electrical equipment before fastening components inside panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten into thin sheet metal or plastic, as Grade 2 steel and shallow thread engagement can strip the mating material.
