Value Collection MSFI0-800500-050B 8-32 X 1/2 in Flat Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSFI0-800500-050B is a Grade 2 steel machine screw with a flat head and slotted drive, sized 8-32 x 0.5 inches overall length. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance in dry to mildly humid environments. Manufactured to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, this fastener delivers consistent thread geometry and head dimensions for reliable mechanical assembly. This screw is a staple in light-duty mechanical, electrical, and HVAC panel assembly work where a flush-mount fastener is required to seat flush with or below a mating surface.

This 8-32 flat head slotted machine screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications including electrical enclosure assembly, control panel fabrication, equipment covers, junction boxes, and general sheet metal or thin-stock fastening. The 0.5-inch overall length and 8-32 thread pitch make it compatible with standard tapped holes and threaded inserts commonly found in HVAC equipment housings, electrical panels, and light mechanical assemblies. Sold in a minimum quantity of 50 per order.

Key Features

• 8-32 thread size with 0.5-inch overall length for standard light-duty fastening applications
• Flat head profile seats flush with or countersunk into the mating surface
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bit tips
• Grade 2 steel construction meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional standards
• Zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance in indoor and dry environments
• Sold in multiples of 50 for bench stock and field service replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 flat head slotted machine screw for use in any application requiring an inch-series fastener conforming to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit sized for a number 8 screw head. Ensure the mating hole is tapped to 8-32 or fitted with a compatible threaded insert before driving. Do not overtorque; Grade 2 steel fasteners in this size range have lower tensile strength than Grade 5 or Grade 8 hardware. For applications governed by NEC or other codes, verify fastener material and finish requirements before substituting.
