Value Collection MCRI0-800500-100BX 8-32 X 0.5in Round Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MCRI0-800500-100BX is an 8-32 x 0.5 inch round head machine screw designed for general-purpose mechanical fastening. The screw features a combination slotted and Phillips drive, allowing installation with either a flat-blade or cross-tip screwdriver. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish, it provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty applications. The thread is UNC (Unified National Coarse) at 8-32, and length is measured under the head at 0.5 inches. This screw ships in a box of 100 units and is commonly used by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general tradespeople for panel assembly, equipment mounting, and component fastening.

This fastener is well suited for light structural and non-structural assembly tasks in residential and commercial trade work. Common applications include securing electrical enclosure panels, mounting HVAC control boards, attaching equipment covers, and assembling sheet metal components. The round head profile sits above the mating surface, making it appropriate for through-hole applications where a low-profile or flush fit is not required. No washer is included or required under the head. The zinc plating provides a clean appearance and mild oxidation resistance in dry or semi-exposed interior environments.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes and threaded inserts
• Combination slotted and Phillips drive accepts both flat-blade and cross-tip screwdrivers
• Round head profile suits through-hole fastening where flush seating is not required
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc plating for basic corrosion resistance
• Length under head measured at 0.5 inches for precise fit in shallow assemblies
• Box of 100 units reduces restocking frequency on active job sites

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC machine screw compatible with any pre-tapped hole, threaded insert, or hex nut accepting an 8-32 thread in inch-measurement fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver sized for a number 8 screw head. De-energize any electrical equipment before installing or removing fasteners on live panels or control assemblies. Do not overtighten into tapped plastic or thin sheet metal to avoid thread stripping. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening components inside electrical or HVAC enclosures.
