Value Collection MSTI0-800870-100BX 8-32 Truss Head Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSTI0-800870-100BX is an 8-32 x 7/8-inch truss head machine screw with a slotted drive. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener provides reliable corrosion resistance in general-duty indoor and light-duty applications. The low-profile truss head distributes clamping force over a wider bearing surface than a standard round head, making it well-suited for thin materials and sheet assemblies. Dimensions conform to ASME B18.6.3. Length is measured under the head. This box contains 100 screws and is sold as a single package.

These machine screws are used across a broad range of trade and light industrial applications including electrical enclosure assembly, HVAC sheet metal components, panel fabrication, and general mechanical assembly. The slotted drive is compatible with flat-blade screwdrivers as well as slotted bits in power drivers. The zinc plating is appropriate for dry or mildly humid interior environments. A minimum order quantity of 100 units applies to this item.

Installation Notes

Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical trades commonly use 8-32 machine screws in panel and enclosure assembly work. Ensure the mating thread is clean and properly tapped to 8-32 before installation. Do not overtighten slotted fasteners, as the drive recess is susceptible to cam-out under excessive torque. Follow applicable codes such as the NEC for electrical enclosure fastening requirements.
