Value Collection MPFI0-800500-100BX 8-32 Flat Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPFI0-800500-100BX is a 8-32 x 0.5 inch flat head Phillips machine screw sold in a 100-piece box. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw follows Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standards and is measured by overall length. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when fully driven, making it a common choice for panel assemblies, enclosures, and equipment housings across electrical, HVAC, and light mechanical applications. This 100-piece pack suits job-site restocking and maintenance kits for trade professionals.

This screw is suited for general-purpose fastening in residential and commercial trade work where a flush-mount, Phillips-drive fastener is required. Typical applications include securing control panels, junction box covers, mounting brackets, and sheet metal components. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected environments. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades will find this size a frequently used staple in standard equipment assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips head screwdriver or power driver with appropriate bit size to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to 8-32 UNC specifications before driving the screw. Do not overtorque, as Grade 2 steel has lower tensile strength than higher-grade fasteners. Power down any electrical panel or equipment before accessing enclosures or control boards during installation or service.
