Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 74683996 is a pan head Phillips machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in metal, plastic, and composite assemblies. It features an 8-32 Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread and measures 1 inch in length under the head. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel, this screw offers adequate tensile strength for light to medium duty applications. The pan head profile provides a low-profile, wide bearing surface, and the Phillips drive allows for fast installation with standard hand or power tools. This screw is sold in packages of 25, with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

This screw is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where a standard inch-series machine screw is required. Common installation scenarios include electrical enclosures, control panels, HVAC equipment covers, junction boxes, and general mechanical assemblies. Tradespeople across electrical, HVAC, and plumbing disciplines routinely use 8-32 fasteners when assembling or servicing equipment that calls for a UNC thread in the number 8 size range.

Installation Notes

Install into a pre-tapped 8-32 UNC hole or with a matching 8-32 hex nut and washer as required by the application. Use a properly sized Phillips screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidance when fastening electrical or mechanical enclosures. Ensure the mating material thread depth is sufficient to engage the full thread length for a secure connection.
