Value Collection MSC-67571448 Machine Screw 8-32 5/16in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-67571448 is an 8-32 x 5/16-inch pan head Phillips machine screw manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The unified national coarse (UNC) thread form provides reliable engagement in tapped holes and threaded inserts. At 5/16 inches measured under the head, this fastener suits shallow-depth applications where a low-profile pan head and Phillips drive are specified. These screws are handled by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general tradespeople for panel assembly, equipment enclosure work, and light structural fastening.

This screw is suited for indoor and outdoor trade applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. Grade 18-8 stainless steel performs well in humid, wet, or mildly corrosive environments, making it a practical choice for HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing access covers, and pool equipment housings. The pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface compared to flat head styles, reducing the risk of pull-through in sheet metal and thin substrate applications. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for engagement with standard tapped holes and threaded inserts
• Pan head profile provides broad bearing surface and low-profile seating
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits and screwdrivers
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments
• Bright uncoated finish — no plating concerns for galvanic compatibility in stainless assemblies
• Length measured under head at 5/16 inches for accurate depth planning

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC machine screw suitable for any application calling for an 8-32 x 5/16-inch pan head Phillips fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or bit driver. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to 8-32 UNC before driving to avoid thread damage or cross-threading. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as the material is susceptible to galling — apply an anti-seize compound when fastening stainless into stainless threads. Power down any electrical equipment before fastening panels or enclosures.
