Value Collection 92945 8-32 X 1/2 in Pan Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92945 is a pan head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in trade and industrial applications. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers solid corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor environments. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-head screwdriver, making it accessible with common hand tools. The 8-32 thread designation follows Unified National Coarse (UNC) standards, and the 1/2-inch length is measured under the head. This screw ships without a washer. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing service panels frequently stock this fastener size for panel covers, junction boxes, and equipment enclosures.

This screw is suited for light-duty metal fastening tasks in residential and commercial settings. Common applications include securing electrical enclosure covers, control panel faceplates, equipment access panels, and sheet metal assemblies where a corrosion-resistant fastener is preferred. The pan head profile sits low and distributes clamping load evenly across the mating surface, reducing the risk of pull-through in thinner gauge material. This SKU is sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, making it practical for stocking a service van or shop inventory.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in humid and wet service environments
• 8-32 UNC thread form ensures broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and threaded inserts
• Pan head profile distributes load evenly and stays low-profile on mating surfaces
• Slotted drive works with standard flat-head screwdrivers — no specialty tooling required
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to chip or corrode in contact with stainless hardware
• Length measured under head at 1/2 inch for accurate engagement depth planning

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC machine screw for use in any application with an 8-32 tapped hole or threaded insert requiring a 1/2-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-head screwdriver sized to the slot width to avoid slipping and damaging the drive. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening or removing panel hardware in accordance with NFPA 70E lockout/tagout procedures. Do not overtorque stainless steel fasteners, as galling can seize the thread; apply an anti-seize compound when fastening into tapped stainless holes. Verify the mating thread is clean and free of debris before driving.
