Value Collection MHWI0-800870US-100BX 8-32 Hex Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MHWI0-800870US-100BX is a hex head, hex drive machine screw designed for general-purpose mechanical fastening in metal fabrication, equipment assembly, and maintenance applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw resists corrosion in standard indoor environments. The 8-32 UNC thread pattern and 7/8-inch length under head make it a common fit for panel assembly, bracket mounting, and light structural connections. Sold in a box of 100, this screw suits shops and field technicians who need reliable bulk fastener stock on hand.

This screw is well-suited for residential and light commercial mechanical assembly tasks including HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and general sheet metal work. The hex head allows for wrench or socket installation, while the hex drive provides an alternative for drivers in tight spaces. The zinc plating is appropriate for dry to mildly humid indoor environments. It is not rated for outdoor or high-corrosion applications without additional protection.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for standard inch-series fastener compatibility
• 7/8-inch length under head for medium-depth fastening tasks
• Hex head and hex drive accept both wrench and hex driver installation
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for general mechanical assembly
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in indoor environments
• Box of 100 units supports bulk use in shop or field settings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw suitable for use in any application requiring an 8-32 UNC thread, hex head fastener with a 7/8-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Install using an appropriately sized hex wrench or socket; do not overtighten, as Grade 2 steel has lower tensile strength than higher-grade fasteners. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. For threaded metal applications, confirm thread engagement depth meets the requirements of the assembly. Always follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines when selecting fasteners for structural or pressure-bearing connections.
