Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSPI0-800250-100BX is a pan head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in mechanical, electrical, and light structural assemblies. It features an 8-32 Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread profile and measures 1/4 inch in length under the head. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw offers basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty applications. It ships in a box of 100 pieces, making it practical for shop stock, panel assembly, and service kit replenishment.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade applications including HVAC control panel assembly, electrical enclosure work, light sheet metal fastening, and general equipment maintenance.

Installation Notes

Installation requires only a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot width. Always verify the receiving hole is tapped to 8-32 UNC before driving the screw to avoid cross-threading. Do not overtighten into thin sheet metal or plastic standoffs, as Grade 2 steel offers limited shear strength compared to higher grades. Power down and de-energize any electrical enclosure or control panel before inserting or removing fasteners per applicable NEC guidelines.
