Value Collection MHI0-801500US-050B 8-32 Hex Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MHI0-801500US-050B is an 8-32 x 1.5-inch hex head machine screw designed for general-purpose mechanical fastening in metal, plastic, and structural assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty applications. The hex head accepts a standard hex wrench or socket for reliable torque application. Thread pitch follows the Unified National Coarse (UNC) standard, making it compatible with standard 8-32 threaded inserts, nuts, and tapped holes. This screw ships in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per pack, well suited for production, maintenance, and repair stock.

This fastener is used across a broad range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel mounting, plumbing fixture brackets, and general sheet metal work. The 8-32 UNC thread is one of the most common thread standards in light equipment manufacturing and service. The 1.5-inch length under the head accommodates typical material stack-ups found in cabinet assembly, control panel build-outs, and equipment enclosures. Technicians across HVAC, electrical, and mechanical trades keep this size on hand for routine service and installation work.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC machine screw suitable for use with any 8-32 threaded hole, insert, or nut conforming to Unified National Coarse thread standards in inch-measurement systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is appropriate for electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical trades. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening screws into or around live assemblies, in accordance with applicable NFPA 70 lockout procedures. Use a properly sized hex wrench or socket to avoid rounding the hex head. Do not overtighten into thin sheet metal or plastic, as Grade 2 steel provides limited resistance to thread stripping in soft materials.
