Value Collection 74683962 Pan Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 74683962 is a No. 8-32 x 3/8-inch pan head Phillips machine screw made from Grade 2 steel with a UNC (Unified National Coarse) thread form. Length is measured under the head. This fastener is used in light-duty mechanical assemblies, panel mounting, and equipment fabrication across HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. The pan head profile offers a wide bearing surface and low-profile clearance, and the Phillips drive allows for quick installation with standard hand or power tools. Sold in a package of 25 units.

This screw is suited for attaching sheet metal panels, electrical enclosure covers, junction box components, and similar light-gauge assemblies. The 8-32 UNC thread is one of the most common machine screw sizes in trade work, appearing in residential and commercial HVAC equipment, control panels, and electrical distribution hardware. Installation does not require a washer, as this part ships without one.
