Value Collection 94358 Hex Head Machine Screw 8-32 X 1/4 in Ss 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 94358 is a hex head machine screw in the 8-32 thread size with a 1/4-inch length under the head. Manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener resists corrosion and maintains dimensional accuracy under repeated use. The hex drive design requires a hex wrench or socket for installation. This screw follows Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standards and is sold in a pack of 100. It is a standard industrial fastener suited for mechanical assembly work across HVAC, electrical enclosures, plumbing equipment panels, and general trade applications.

This fastener is used wherever an 8-32 UNC thread pattern is required in light- to medium-duty mechanical assemblies. The 1/4-inch body length makes it appropriate for thin-panel applications such as equipment covers, junction boxes, control board mounting, and small component brackets. Grade 18-8 stainless steel is a common specification in environments with moderate moisture exposure, making these screws a practical choice for both indoor mechanical rooms and light outdoor or corrosive-environment use.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes in trade equipment panels and enclosures
• 1/4-inch length under head for thin-material fastening applications
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance without plating
• Hex head and hex drive for secure, torque-controlled installation with standard hand or power tools
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating to chip, flake, or interfere with electrical grounding contact
• Pack of 100 units for service stock, maintenance kits, or volume repair work

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring an 8-32 UNC thread machine screw with a hex head and 1/4-inch length under head. Suitable for standard tapped holes in steel, aluminum, and thermoplastic panels common in HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, and plumbing system components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a hex wrench or hex socket sized to the fastener head. De-energize all electrical equipment and relieve system pressure before accessing panels or enclosures secured by these screws. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners in stainless or aluminum tapped holes, as galling can occur — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when fastening into similar-material threads. Follow applicable codes such as NEC for electrical enclosure work or IFGC for equipment panel access on gas appliances.
