Value Collection A996483 8-32 Truss Head Phillips Machine Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A996483 is a No. 8-32 UNC machine screw designed for general fastening applications in metal, plastic, and composite assemblies. The truss head profile delivers a wide, low-profile bearing surface that distributes clamping load across a larger area than a pan or round head, reducing the risk of pull-through in thinner materials. Driven by a Phillips bit, installation is straightforward with standard hand or power tools. The screw is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance in indoor and sheltered environments. Each package contains 100 screws.

This screw is well suited for light-gauge sheet metal work, electrical panel assembly, HVAC equipment enclosures, junction box covers, and general trade maintenance tasks. The 8-32 thread is a common UNC coarse-pitch size found throughout residential and commercial equipment, making this a practical bench stock item for HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers who routinely replace or reinstall access panels and cover plates.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or bit. De-energize all electrical equipment and follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer lockout procedures before replacing fasteners on live panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten into plastic or thin sheet metal to avoid stripping the mating thread or deforming the material. Verify thread engagement depth is sufficient before applying torque.
