Value Collection MPRI0-800370-050B 8-32 Machine Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPRI0-800370-050B is a number 8-32 Unified National Coarse (UNC) machine screw designed for general fastening applications in metal, plastic, and composite assemblies. The round head profile and Phillips drive allow for flush-clearance fastening with standard Phillips screwdrivers or power drivers. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish, this screw resists corrosion in light-duty indoor service conditions. At 0.375 inches in length under head, it is suited for thin-material applications where a short grip length is required. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers commonly use 8-32 fasteners for panel covers, equipment enclosures, and component mounting. This package contains 50 screws.

This screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications wherever an 8-32 UNC thread pattern is specified. Typical install scenarios include securing electrical enclosure covers, control board mounting brackets, and sheet metal panels in HVAC equipment. The zinc coating provides basic protection against oxidation, making it suitable for dry or mildly humid indoor environments. Trade professionals will recognize the 8-32 thread as one of the most common machine screw sizes found in equipment manufactured to inch standards.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-pattern tapped holes
• Round head profile provides a low-profile, finished appearance at the fastener site
• Phillips drive accepts standard Phillips bits and screwdrivers
• Grade 2 steel construction meets general-purpose mechanical requirements
• Zinc plating finish resists light corrosion in dry indoor environments
• 0.375 inch length under head suits thin-material and shallow-hole applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock fastener for any application calling for an 8-32 UNC round head Phillips machine screw with a 0.375 inch length under head in inch-standard hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a standard Phillips screwdriver or power driver fitted with a Phillips bit. Ensure the receiving hole is properly tapped to 8-32 UNC before driving to avoid cross-threading or fastener damage. Power down and de-energize any electrical equipment before accessing panels or enclosures secured by these screws, in accordance with applicable NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout and tagout procedures. Do not overtighten, as Grade 2 steel has lower tensile strength than higher-grade alloy fasteners.
