Value Collection R63032247 Machine Screw 8-32 Oval Head Phillips

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63032247 is an 8-32 x 0.5-inch oval head machine screw designed for general-purpose mechanical fastening applications. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw provides solid corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor environments. The oval head profile delivers a low-profile, countersunk appearance with a slightly domed top, while the Phillips drive allows for fast installation with standard hand or power tools. Thread size 8-32 follows Unified National Coarse (UNC) standards. This fastener ships in a minimum order quantity of 100 units per package.

This screw is suited for light-gauge metal, plastic panel, and equipment enclosure assembly across HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. The 8-32 UNC thread pattern is widely used in instrument panels, junction boxes, equipment housings, and control cabinet assembly. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where mild corrosion exposure is a factor, such as outdoor electrical enclosures or damp mechanical rooms. Installers working on control panels, fan assemblies, or access covers will find this a standard fit for many existing tapped holes.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes in trade equipment
• 0.5-inch overall length with full 0.5-inch length under head

• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips screwdrivers and bit drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance without additional coating
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to flake or contaminate sensitive assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC machine screw for use in any application requiring an 8-32 tapped hole with an oval head fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or bit driver and a pre-tapped or cleared 8-32 hole. Always de-energize electrical equipment and follow applicable NEC guidelines before fastening components inside live panels or enclosures. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel fasteners into tapped aluminum or soft metal, as galling can occur — apply fastener lubricant if repeated removal is expected.
