Value Collection R52000873 Machine Screw 8-32 Pan Head Phillips

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000873 is a pan head machine screw designed for general mechanical assembly and light structural fastening. It features an 8-32 unified coarse thread and measures 0.25 inches in length under the head. The screw is manufactured from steel with a zinc plating finish that provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected applications. Drive engagement is via a Phillips pattern, compatible with standard Phillips screwdrivers and power bits. The material grade meets J82 requirements and the fastener conforms to ASME B18.13a and SAE J82 standards. An external tooth washer style is integrated into the design for added locking capability.

This machine screw is suited for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, control panels, and equipment housings where a compact fastener with positive Phillips drive engagement is required. The 8-32 thread size is commonly found in HVAC controls, electrical junction boxes, and general sheet metal or machined-component assemblies. It is appropriate for residential and commercial applications alike. Installation is handled by technicians across electrical, HVAC, and general mechanical trades.

Key Features

• Phillips drive for use with standard screwdrivers and power bits
• Zinc-plated steel construction for corrosion resistance in indoor applications
• External tooth washer style for improved locking and vibration resistance
• Conforms to ASME B18.13a and SAE J82 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 machine screw replacement suitable for any application requiring a pan head Phillips fastener with 0.25-inch length under head per ASME B18.13a dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or a compatible power driver bit sized for the screw head. Ensure the receiving hole is properly tapped to 8-32 before installation to avoid thread damage. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening screws within live enclosures or control panels, following applicable NEC guidelines. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the thread or deform the pan head.
