Value Collection MPPI0-801250-050BX 8-32 Pan Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPPI0-801250-050BX is a pan head machine screw in the 8-32 thread size with a 1.25-inch length under head. It features a Phillips drive and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish. This screw is a standard inch-series fastener used across mechanical assemblies, enclosures, electrical panels, and light-duty structural connections. It follows Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standards. Licensed trades and general technicians use these fasteners when assembling equipment housings, mounting components to panels, or completing field repairs where a medium-duty threaded fastener is required.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial applications wherever an 8-32 UNC threaded fastener is specified. Common use cases include securing electrical enclosure covers, attaching terminal blocks, fastening sheet metal components, and general mechanical assembly work. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface with clearance for standard Phillips drivers. The zinc finish offers a baseline level of corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor dry and lightly humid environments.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard inch-series threaded holes and nuts
• 1.25-inch length under head for moderate fastening depth
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface
• Phillips drive accommodates standard Phillips screwdrivers and bits
• Grade 2 steel construction balances strength and cost for general-purpose use
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC inch-series machine screw for general mechanical and electrical assembly applications requiring an 8-32 thread form.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand tool or power driver using a Phillips bit sized for a number 8 screw. De-energize any electrical panel or equipment before installing fasteners near live components, in accordance with applicable NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout procedures. Do not overtighten Grade 2 steel fasteners, as the material has lower tensile strength than higher-grade alternatives. Ensure the mating thread or nut matches the 8-32 UNC thread specification before driving.
