Value Collection R57500108 Machine Screw 8-32 2.5in Pan Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57500108 is an 8-32 UNC machine screw designed for general fastening applications in metal and plastic assemblies. It features a pan head profile with a slotted drive and is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The length under head measures 2.5 inches, making it suitable for fastening through moderately thick material stacks. Installers in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing work regularly use machine screws of this type to secure panels, junction boxes, brackets, and equipment covers. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in damp or outdoor service environments.

This screw is used across residential and light commercial applications wherever an 8-32 threaded fastener is required. Common install scenarios include securing electrical enclosure covers, HVAC unit panels, equipment mounting brackets, and plumbing access covers. The pan head sits low and flat against the mating surface without requiring a countersunk hole, keeping the installation flush and clean. Sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general tradespeople. Always de-energize electrical panels and equipment before inserting or removing fasteners in live enclosures, following applicable NEC guidelines. Use a properly sized flat-blade screwdriver to avoid cam-out and slot damage. Verify thread engagement depth in the mating material to ensure adequate holding strength before returning equipment to service.
