Value Collection MPPI0-800500-100BX Machine Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPPI0-800500-100BX is a No. 8-32 x 0.5 inch pan head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in light industrial, HVAC, electrical, and mechanical assembly applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw uses a Phillips drive and a pan head profile that sits low and flush against the work surface. The Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form is the standard for inch-fastener applications across North American trades. Length is measured under the head at 0.5 inches. Sold in a box of 100.

These screws are suitable for securing control boards, electrical enclosures, sheet metal panels, junction boxes, and light mechanical components where a standard No. 8-32 UNC fastener is specified. The pan head style distributes clamping load evenly across the mating surface, making it a common choice when attaching components to thin sheet metal or plastic housings. HVAC technicians, electricians, and mechanical contractors routinely use 8-32 machine screws for panel and component mounting tasks.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes and hardware
• Pan head profile provides broad bearing surface and low-profile seating
• Phillips drive works with standard No. 2 Phillips bits and screwdrivers
• Grade 2 steel construction meets general-purpose mechanical fastening requirements
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection in indoor and dry environments
• Box of 100 supports production, service, and maintenance quantities

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC inch-series machine screw for use wherever No. 8-32 pan head Phillips fasteners are specified in light mechanical, electrical, and HVAC assembly work.

Installation Notes

Install using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or bit driver. Confirm the mating hole is tapped to 8-32 UNC before driving to avoid cross-threading. Do not over-torque in plastic or thin sheet metal applications. Zinc plating is intended for dry or low-humidity indoor environments and is not a substitute for stainless or coated fasteners in wet or corrosive conditions.
