Value Collection MSC-87924304 8-32 X 1/2 in Round Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-87924304 is a stainless steel machine screw built to UNC thread standards for use in general mechanical and trade assembly applications. This 8-32 thread screw measures 1/2 inch in length under the head and features a round head profile with a slotted drive. Manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it resists corrosion and holds up in wet or chemically active environments. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance trades use machine screws of this type for panel fastening, bracket mounting, and equipment enclosure assembly.

This screw is suited for light-gauge metal, plastic, and panel-board applications where an 8-32 UNC thread is specified. The round head provides a wide bearing surface and sits above the mating material, making it easy to drive and remove during service. The slotted drive accepts a flat-blade screwdriver, a common tool across all trade disciplines. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order, with a package quantity of 1.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for reliable engagement in standard inch-thread tapped holes
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in damp or outdoor-adjacent environments
• Round head profile with broad bearing surface for secure clamping without countersinking
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating to interfere with electrical grounding paths or conductivity requirements
• Length measured under head at 1/2 inch for consistent stack-up calculations

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring an 8-32 UNC round head slotted machine screw in 18-8 stainless steel. Typical fitment includes equipment enclosures, electrical panels, HVAC access panels, and general mechanical assemblies that specify an 8-32 thread.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to match the slot width to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure the mating hole is tapped or pre-threaded to 8-32 UNC specifications before driving the fastener. Applying thread-locking compound is at the discretion of the installer based on vibration requirements of the application. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners into stainless threads — galling can occur; use appropriate anti-seize compound if required by the assembly specification.
