ProTeam Pan Head Screw - 8 x 0.75 Inch

Part 808380-22 is a pan-head fastener sized 8 by 0.75 inch, used at several points across ProTeam's Super Coach Pro line (Pro 6 and Pro 10), the 1073110 and 1073120 models, and both versions of the GoFree Flex Pro. It is not a part anyone plans to buy until one goes missing.

Screws like this get lost during routine work more often than any bigger component fails outright. A filter change, a harness swap, or opening the housing to chase down a rattle all involve pulling this fastener, and on a shop floor or a job site it is easy to set one down and walk away without it. The pan head profile and thread on this one are matched to ProTeam's original spec, so a similar-looking hardware-store screw can sit proud or strip the mounting boss it threads into instead of seating flush.

A stripped boss is the real cost of using the wrong screw here. Once the threads inside the mounting point round out, the fastener no longer holds torque no matter how tight it is turned, and the fix at that point is a repair to the housing itself rather than a two-dollar screw. Using the correct part the first time avoids turning a small loss into a bigger one.

Because it is inexpensive relative to the labor of reopening a machine a second time, most commercial users order a few at once rather than one at a time, so the next missing screw does not turn into a second trip to place an order.
