Value Collection MSTI0-801500-100BX 8-32 Truss Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSTI0-801500-100BX is an 8-32 x 1.5-inch machine screw with a truss head and slotted drive. It is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. The truss head profile sits low and wide, distributing clamping load across a broader bearing surface than a standard pan or round head. These screws follow Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standards and are sized for use without a washer. They are commonly installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade mechanics in light-duty panel, bracket, and enclosure assembly work. This listing covers a box quantity of 100 fasteners.

These 8-32 machine screws are suited for light-duty metal assembly applications including electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, junction boxes, and control cabinet hardware. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver, making them easy to install and remove in service situations where specialty bits are not at hand. The zinc plating provides adequate protection in dry indoor environments typical of residential and light commercial mechanical rooms and electrical installations.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC machine screw for use in any application requiring an 8-32 tapped hole or paired nut, including electrical panels, HVAC equipment enclosures, and general sheet-metal assembly in residential and light commercial settings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head. Always de-energize electrical equipment and follow applicable NEC lockout procedures before fastening or removing screws inside live enclosures. Do not over-torque Grade 2 fasteners into thin sheet metal, as thread stripping can occur. Verify thread engagement depth is sufficient before applying load.
