Value Collection MSC-67571489 Machine Screw 8-32 X 3/8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-67571489 is a pan head Phillips machine screw designed for general-purpose mechanical fastening in trade and industrial applications. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw offers solid corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor installations. The 8-32 UNC thread specification and 3/8-inch length under head make it suitable for light-gauge metal assemblies, electrical panel work, enclosure mounting, and equipment maintenance tasks where a compact fastener is required. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing service routinely stock this size for panel and cover hardware replacement.

This screw is well suited to residential and light commercial service applications. Common uses include securing electrical box covers, junction box lids, control panel faceplates, and sheet metal enclosures where an 8-32 threaded hole is present. The pan head profile provides a low-profile clamping surface and broad bearing area relative to flat head designs, making it a practical choice when countersinking is not required or desirable.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without surface coating requirements
• Pan head profile delivers a broad, flat underside bearing surface without countersinking
• Phillips drive accommodates standard 2 Phillips bits and power drivers
• 8-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes and threaded inserts in that size
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional tolerances and is suitable for clean environments
• Sold without washer for direct thread-into-tapped-hole applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC machine screw replacement for use in any application requiring an 8-32 threaded fastener with a pan head, Phillips drive, and 3/8-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard 2 Phillips screwdriver or compatible power driver bit. Ensure the mating tapped hole or threaded insert is clean and free of debris before driving. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners in stainless tapped holes, as galling can occur; apply an anti-seize compound if repeated removal is expected. Disconnect power to any electrical enclosure before removing or installing cover hardware per applicable NEC guidelines.
