Value Collection MSTI0-801000-100BX 8-32 Truss Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSTI0-801000-100BX is an 8-32 x 1 inch truss head machine screw with a slotted drive, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. The truss head profile features a wide, low-profile bearing surface that distributes clamping load across a larger footprint compared to pan or round head styles. Length is measured under the head. This fastener is sized to the Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard and ships in a box quantity of 100 pieces, making it a practical stock item for maintenance shops, panel fabricators, and trade contractors who need reliable general-purpose hardware on hand.

This screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assembly in residential and commercial applications where a flush or near-flush surface appearance is acceptable and a standard slotted screwdriver or bit is available. Common use cases include securing electrical enclosure covers, HVAC cabinet panels, junction box lids, and sheet metal assemblies where the broad truss head prevents pull-through on thin materials. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected environments.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard tapped holes and hex nuts in that size class
• Truss head provides a wider bearing surface than pan or round heads, reducing pull-through on thin sheet stock
• Slotted drive works with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bits — no specialty tooling required
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected installations
• Grade 2 steel construction meets general-purpose fastener strength requirements
• Box quantity of 100 pieces supports bulk stocking for service vehicles and shop inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose UNC machine screw for use in any application requiring an 8-32 threaded fastener with a truss head profile. Fits standard 8-32 tapped holes and mates with 8-32 hex nuts, wing nuts, and threaded inserts.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit sized for a number 8 screw head to avoid cam-out and head damage. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure or panel before fastening or removing hardware per NEC guidelines. Do not overtighten into thin sheet metal or plastic — hand-snug with a quarter-turn is typically sufficient to seat the truss head without distorting the base material. Inspect threads for cross-threading before applying torque.
