Value Collection C52000781 8-32 Truss Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C52000781 is a stainless steel machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in industrial, mechanical, and trade applications. It features an 8-32 unified coarse thread (UNC) and measures 5/8 inches in length under the head. The truss head profile provides a wide, low-profile bearing surface ideal for securing thin materials or panels where a standard pan head would not seat flush. The Phillips drive allows fast installation with standard power or hand tools. Material is Grade 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, offering good corrosion resistance in mildly wet or outdoor-adjacent environments. Sold in a quantity of 100 per package.

These screws are commonly used by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors for panel assembly, equipment enclosures, junction boxes, sheet metal work, and light structural fastening. The 8-32 thread size is one of the most widely used machine screw sizes in North American trade work, making this a practical stocking fastener for service vehicles, shop bins, and job-site kits. Grade 18-8 stainless construction makes these suitable for applications where mild corrosion resistance is needed without the cost of a higher alloy grade.

Installation Notes

Install using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or bit. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening panels or covers per applicable NEC requirements. Avoid over-torquing into thin sheet metal to prevent thread stripping. When installing into dissimilar metals in wet environments, consult applicable corrosion compatibility guidelines to confirm 18-8 stainless is appropriate for the service condition.
