Value Collection MSTI0-801750-100BX 8-32 Truss Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSTI0-801750-100BX is a Grade 2 steel machine screw with an 8-32 UNC thread and a 1-3/4 inch length measured under the head. The truss head profile offers a wide, low-dome bearing surface that distributes clamping load across a larger area than a pan or round head. A slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor or sheltered applications. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal mechanics commonly use this fastener for panel assembly, equipment mounting, and light-gauge bracket work.

This screw is used in general-purpose light mechanical assembly where an 8-32 UNC threaded hole or a tapped clearance is already present. The truss head style is common in electrical enclosures, control panels, HVAC equipment cabinets, and fixture mounting where a flush or countersunk fastener is not required. The 1-3/4 inch length accommodates stacked sheet metal or thin structural members. This SKU is sold as a box of 100 pieces, making it practical for service vehicles and shop stock.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes in trade equipment
• Truss head provides a wide bearing surface to reduce pull-through on thin materials
• Slotted drive works with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and power drivers
• Zinc-plated steel finish for basic corrosion resistance in dry or sheltered environments
• Grade 2 steel construction meets general-purpose fastener strength requirements
• Box of 100 pieces supports bulk stocking for service and assembly work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 8-32 UNC machine screw suitable for standard tapped holes in electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and light mechanical assemblies requiring a truss head profile.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a matching 8-32 UNC tapped hole or a nut on the reverse side. Use a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted power bit sized to the head slot to avoid cam-out or head damage. De-energize any electrical enclosure or control panel before inserting or removing fasteners per NFPA 70 (NEC) safe work practices. Do not overtighten into thin sheet metal or plastic, as the truss head can distort the material.
