Item Description

The 8-32 x 1 1/2 Oval Head Slotted Zinc Plated Machine Screw is a fastener that has been used widely in various applications since the introduction of machine screws in manufacturing. The number '8' in the designation indicates the diameter of the screw, which is a standard measurement in the United States. The '32' refers to the thread count, meaning there are 32 threads per inch, which provides a secure grip when driven into the material. The 1 1/2 inch length serves a specific purpose in assembly, allowing for adequate penetration into the material while also providing enough to secure it firmly in place.
