Screw M4-0.7 x 8 mm Phillips Pan Head Stainless 00-0408-0013

The M4 x 8 mm screw 00-0408-0013 is a genuine OEM machine screw in 18-8 stainless steel, M4-0.7 thread, 8 mm long, with a Phillips pan head. It is used on Tornado and Powr-Flite commercial floor equipment as a general assembly fastener, and it is one of the few metric fasteners in an otherwise imperial parts book, so it is worth ordering by number rather than guessing from a hardware drawer.

What the screw 00-0408-0013 does

A pan head spreads its clamping load over a wide bearing surface without needing a countersink, which is what you want when the part being fastened is thin steel or a moulding rather than a machined face. The 18-8 stainless specification matters on a wet machine: a carpet extractor spends its life around solution and recovered water, and a plated steel screw in the same place will bleed rust down the chassis within a season. On the Powr-Flite Prowler PFX 900S-T this screw is callout 54 on the chassis-with-bracket drawing, used from serial number 0926007288 onward, where it works with the steel solenoid bracket X2543.

When to replace the screw 00-0408-0013

Replace it when the Phillips recess has cammed out, when the thread is stripped, galled or cross-threaded, or when the head no longer pulls the joint tight. Metric fasteners are easy to cross-thread into an imperial hole and vice versa, so if one feels tight from the first turn, stop and check you have the right screw rather than forcing it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the M4 x 8 mm screw 00-0408-0013 do?

It is a stainless Phillips pan-head machine screw, M4-0.7 thread, 8 mm long, used as an assembly fastener. On the Powr-Flite Prowler PFX 900S-T it is callout 54 on the chassis-with-bracket drawing, where it fastens the solenoid bracket; on the Tornado 20″ Marathon 1200 it appears in the base assembly.

How do I know if the screw 00-0408-0013 needs replacing?

Replace it when the Phillips recess is rounded out, when the thread is stripped or cross-threaded, or when the head will no longer pull the joint tight. Because it is 18-8 stainless it will not rust, so corrosion is rarely the reason — a damaged head or thread from over-torquing is.

What models is the screw 00-0408-0013 (part# 00-0408-0013) compatible with?

Its factory Where-Used record lists two machines: the Tornado 20″ Marathon 1200 12-Gallon 115V, Model 98168 Series P, in the base assembly, and the Powr-Flite Prowler PFX 900S-T, Model PFX900S, on the chassis-with-bracket drawing used from serial 0926007288 onward.
