Screw #8-32 x 1/2 in X9582

The Screw #8-32 x 1/2 in (part# X9582) is a genuine Tacony OEM machine screw, listed at (Model 93030).

#8-32 sits between the #6 hardware used on light covers and the #10 and 1/4-20 fasteners used structurally. On this machine it is found around the switch box and electrical mountings — assemblies that need a secure fastening but where a larger screw would not fit the moulding. The half-inch length suits a single panel into a tapped boss rather than a stack.

Replace any screw with a cammed-out recess, a stripped or galled thread, or corrosion. Because several thread sizes sit close together on this machine, keep removed fasteners with the assembly they came from — an #8-32 started into a #10 hole will cross-thread and ruin the boss, and the mistake is easy to make with the panel off and a handful of similar-looking screws on the bench.
