Value Collection MHWI0-800250SL-100B 8-32 Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MHWI0-800250SL-100B is a hex washer head machine screw designed for general fastening applications across a wide range of mechanical assemblies. This screw features an 8-32 unified coarse thread with an overall length of 0.25 inches and a slotted drive. It is manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish, providing basic corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments. Conforming to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, this screw is a dependable choice for technicians and assemblers working to recognized dimensional specifications. The hex washer head provides a bearing surface without requiring a separate washer, making installation straightforward with a standard flat-blade screwdriver or hex driver.

This machine screw is suited for light-duty fastening in residential and commercial equipment assemblies, control panels, enclosures, junction boxes, and similar applications where a compact, low-profile fastener is needed. HVAC technicians, electricians, and general maintenance professionals commonly use 8-32 machine screws when securing sheet metal components, terminal blocks, and small equipment housings. The slotted drive accommodates flat-blade screwdrivers, which are standard tools in most trade toolkits. This fastener is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head or a hex driver matched to the washer head flats. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is an 8-32 thread before driving to avoid cross-threading. Do not exceed appropriate torque for the material being fastened, as the compact screw length leaves minimal thread engagement in shallow applications. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening components inside electrical enclosures or control panels.
