Value Collection R52000887 Machine Screw 8-32 Hex Washer

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000887 is a slotted hex washer head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in metal and hard substrate assemblies. Manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards for dimensional accuracy and material grade. The 8-32 thread size and 0.5-inch overall length make it a common fit for light structural, panel, and equipment enclosure applications. Installation is accomplished with a standard slotted screwdriver or hex-bit driver. These screws are sold in lots and are appropriate for use by electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical tradespeople working with equipment cabinets, junction boxes, and sheet metal panels.

This machine screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a low-profile hex washer head is required to distribute clamping load across a surface without the need for a separate washer. The slotted drive allows use of standard flat-blade screwdrivers as well as combination bits. Typical installations include securing control panels, electrical enclosures, equipment housings, and similar assemblies where an 8-32 thread engagement is specified. These screws are commonly sourced in bulk for service vehicle stock or shop inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-blade screwdriver or appropriately sized hex driver. Always ensure the receiving hole is correctly tapped to 8-32 UNC before driving to avoid thread stripping. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening screws into live panels or enclosures. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when securing components inside electrical or HVAC control assemblies.
