Value Collection 211046P Flat Socket Cap Screw 8-32 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 211046P is an 8-32 x 3/8 inch flat socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications where a flush or countersunk profile is required. Built from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener delivers solid mechanical strength and moderate corrosion resistance in indoor and sheltered environments. The 82-degree flat head seats cleanly into countersunk holes, and the 3/32 inch hex socket drive accepts a standard hex key for installation. Fully threaded along its entire 3/8 inch length, it provides consistent thread engagement from head to tip. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals working with mechanical assemblies, enclosures, and equipment panels rely on this type of fastener for low-profile, high-strength connections.

This flat socket cap screw is suited for use in light industrial, mechanical, and equipment assembly applications where a flush-mount fastener is needed. The UNC thread form and inch-system dimensioning make it compatible with standard tapped holes in steel, aluminum, and similar materials. It is commonly used in machine guarding, panel assembly, jig and fixture work, and general equipment fabrication. The black oxide finish reduces light reflection and provides a degree of surface protection in dry or lightly oiled service environments.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head profile for flush countersunk installation
• 3/32 inch hex socket drive for standard hex key wrench use
• Fully threaded 3/8 inch length provides maximum thread engagement
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile strength in compact fastener form
• Black oxide finish reduces glare and adds mild corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or replacement flat socket cap screw for standard 8-32 UNC tapped holes in inch-system mechanical assemblies and equipment panels.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 3/32 inch hex key or T-handle hex driver. Ensure the mating hole is properly countersunk to 82 degrees before driving the fastener flush. De-energize and lock out any equipment before accessing fastened panels or enclosures. Follow applicable torque guidelines for 8-32 alloy steel fasteners as specified by the equipment manufacturer or applicable ASME standards.
