Value Collection W98346PS 8-32 X 1/2 Pan Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION W98346PS is a pan head Phillips machine screw designed for general mechanical fastening applications. Threaded 8-32 with a 1/2 inch length under head, this screw is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance in wet, humid, or chemically exposed environments. The pan head profile offers a low-profile seating surface with a wide bearing area, and the Phillips drive accepts standard Phillips screwdrivers and bits. Compliance with ASME B18.13 ensures dimensional consistency across the lot. This fastener is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package, making it suitable for production, service kit replenishment, and maintenance stock.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, panel mounting, and general mechanical assemblies where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required. The 8-32 thread size is a widely used coarse-pitch unified thread frequently found in light-gauge metal assemblies, control boards, access panels, and terminal blocks across residential and commercial trade applications. The external tooth washer style provides added vibration resistance when fully seated.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips screwdriver or Phillips bit driver sized for a No. 2 point. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur in threaded metal interfaces. Verify thread engagement depth in the mating component before applying torque.
