Worcester Bosch Dog Point Screw 8 x 1/2 8716117028

The Worcester Bosch 8716117028 is a dog point screw used as an appliance fixing on Worcester Bosch gas appliances. It is a Type B self-tapping screw with a Pozi (Pz) drive and a zinc-coated finish, sized 8 x 1/2. It is used to hold panels, brackets and internal assemblies in place during manufacture and servicing across the Greenstar family and other Worcester models.

• The screw head is corroded, chewed or rounded, so the driver no longer bites cleanly.
• The fixing has worked loose and the panel or bracket it secures is no longer held firmly.
• The screw has seized in the thread and shears off during removal.
• The screw has been dropped or lost during a service or panel removal and no matching fixing remains.
• The thread no longer grips because the tapping point has worn or the hole has been stripped.

• Check the appliance GC number and model against the compatibility list to confirm this fixing is the correct one for your unit.
• Confirm the existing screw dimensions and head type match the 8 x 1/2 Pozi dog point specification before ordering.
• Note the alternative part number 1031069 when cross-referencing older documentation or stock records.
• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
