Value Collection R52000876 Machine Screw 8-32 Pan Head Phillips

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000876 is a pan head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in metal assemblies. It features an 8-32 unified coarse thread and measures 5/16 inches in length under the head. The Phillips drive allows for quick installation with standard hand tools or a power driver. Constructed from steel with a zinc plating finish, this screw meets Grade J82 material standards and conforms to ASME B18.13a and SAE J82 specifications. An external tooth washer style is integrated into the design for added holding force. This fastener is suited for electricians, HVAC technicians, panel assemblers, and maintenance trades working with light-gauge metal components.

This screw is commonly used in control panel enclosures, electrical boxes, HVAC equipment cabinets, and light sheet metal fabrication. The 8-32 thread size is a standard coarse-thread designation widely used in residential and commercial equipment across HVAC, electrical, and general industrial applications. The pan head profile provides a low-profile, wide bearing surface that distributes clamping load across the material surface, making it appropriate for thin-gauge metal work where pull-through resistance matters.

Key Features

• 8-32 unified coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Pan head with Phillips drive for fast installation using common hand tools or power drivers
• External tooth washer style provides additional grip and vibration resistance
• Zinc-plated steel finish offers corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty applications
• Conforms to ASME B18.13a and SAE J82 fastener standards
• Grade J82 steel construction meets established mechanical property requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 pan head machine screw for use in any application requiring ASME B18.13a or SAE J82 compliant fasteners with a Phillips drive and external tooth washer style.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or power driver using a Phillips bit sized for an 8-32 screw. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to 8-32 threads before installation to avoid cross-threading or stripping. Do not overtighten, as pan head screws in light-gauge metal can pull through or distort the base material. Follow applicable fastener torque guidance from the equipment manufacturer or relevant NEC and ASME standards where required.
