Value Collection W98506PS 8-32 X 1/2 Pan Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION W98506PS is a pan head Phillips machine screw designed for general fastening applications across mechanical, electrical, and HVAC assembly work. Sized at 8-32 thread by 1/2 inch length under head, this screw is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor service environments. The Phillips drive allows for fast installation with standard hand or power tools. Compliance with ASME B18.13 confirms dimensional accuracy and consistent thread form. This fastener includes an internal tooth washer style per the specification standard. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package.

This screw is used in light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, control panels, HVAC equipment cabinets, and plumbing fixture mounting where a compact pan head profile and corrosion-resistant material are required. The 8-32 unified coarse thread is a common size across trade equipment, making this screw a practical stock item for service technicians and assembly shops alike. Stainless steel construction makes it suitable for humid or corrosive environments where carbon steel fasteners would fail prematurely.

• Internal tooth washer style per specification for added holding retention

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 x 1/2 inch pan head Phillips machine screw suitable for use in electrical enclosures, HVAC cabinet panels, control boards, and general mechanical assemblies requiring an ASME B18.13 compliant stainless steel fastener.

Installation Notes

Install using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or matching power bit. De-energize all electrical panels and shut off equipment before fastener service on live assemblies. Avoid overtightening stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur without proper lubrication or the use of anti-seize compound on the threads. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer torque guidelines where specified.
