Value Collection MSC-37007382 8-32 X 1/2 in Pan Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-37007382 is a pan head Phillips machine screw designed for general fastening applications in corrosion-resistant assemblies. It features an 8-32 UNC thread and a 1/2-inch length measured under the head. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw provides strong resistance to oxidation, moisture, and chemical exposure. It is suited for electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors who need reliable fasteners in wet, coastal, or chemically aggressive environments. The pan head profile distributes clamping force across a wide bearing surface, and the Phillips drive allows fast installation with standard screwdrivers or power tools.

This screw is used in light-duty panel assembly, equipment enclosures, junction boxes, HVAC components, plumbing fixtures, and similar applications where stainless steel fasteners are specified. The 8-32 UNC thread is a common machine thread size found across a wide range of trade and industrial equipment. Grade 316 stainless steel is frequently specified in marine, food-service, and outdoor environments due to its elevated molybdenum content and superior corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard machine-thread nuts and tapped holes
• 1/2-inch length under head for precise fitment in shallow-depth applications
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and chemical resistance
• Pan head profile provides a wide, low-profile bearing surface
• Phillips drive accepts standard Phillips screwdrivers and power-tool bits
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to flake, chip, or introduce contamination

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC pan head machine screw suitable for use in any application requiring a corrosion-resistant stainless steel fastener of this thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by any trade professional using a Phillips screwdriver or a power driver fitted with a Phillips bit. Ensure the mating thread — whether a nut or tapped hole — is also rated 8-32 UNC before driving. De-energize any electrical panel or equipment before installing fasteners in or around live components, in accordance with NFPA 70 lockout/tagout procedures. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel screws, as the material is susceptible to galling; apply anti-seize compound to threads when the application permits.
