Value Collection MS24693-S53 Flat Head Machine Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS24693-S53 is a flat head Phillips machine screw built to MS24693 fastener standard specifications. It features an 8-32 thread size and a 7/8-inch overall length, making it a compact, general-purpose threaded fastener suited for metal-to-metal and panel assembly applications. Constructed from Grade 3 steel with a yellow cadmium finish, this screw offers corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. The flat head profile seats flush with the mating surface when driven into a countersunk hole. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors typically use this screw for control panel assembly, equipment enclosures, and component mounting.

This screw is appropriate for light to medium-duty fastening applications in residential and commercial trade work. Its 8-32 thread pitch is one of the most common sizes encountered in electrical enclosures, HVAC control boards, and sheet metal assemblies. The Phillips drive allows installation with standard hand tools or power drivers. Sold in multiples of 100 per minimum order, this screw is well suited for service fleets, maintenance crews, and contractors who keep fastener stock on hand for field repairs and panel work.
