Value Collection 1-SOW-4-50 Oval Head Wood Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1-SOW-4-50 is a No. 4 oval head wood screw designed for fastening applications where a low-profile, finished appearance is required. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, this screw offers solid corrosion resistance in both interior and exterior environments. At 1/2 inch in length under the head, it is suited for light-duty fastening of thin stock, trim, and hardware to wood substrates. Carpenters, millwork installers, and maintenance technicians commonly use oval head screws where a countersunk hole with a slightly raised, rounded head finish is specified.

This screw is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial woodworking, cabinetry, trim installation, and decorative hardware mounting. The oval head profile sits partially recessed in a countersunk hole, leaving the upper dome exposed for a clean, finished look. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it suitable for environments with moderate moisture exposure, including coastal and outdoor applications where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• No. 4 thread size for light-duty fastening in thin wood and trim stock
• 1/2 inch length under head for shallow-depth fastening applications
• Oval head profile provides a decorative, low-profile finished appearance
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in damp and outdoor environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use fastener for wood assembly applications requiring a No. 4 oval head slotted wood screw with a 1/2 inch under-head length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand tool or low-torque power driver using a flat-blade bit sized to the slotted head. A countersink should be pre-drilled to accept the oval head profile and prevent wood splitting, particularly in hardwoods or near board edges. Avoid over-driving, as stainless steel fasteners of this size can be susceptible to head deformation if excessive torque is applied. Follow applicable building or finish carpentry standards for fastener spacing and substrate preparation.
