Value Collection 211049P Flat Socket Cap Screw 8-32 X 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 211049P is an 8-32 x 1/2 inch flat socket cap screw designed for flush or countersunk fastening applications. It features an 82-degree flat head profile driven by a 3/32 inch hex socket and is fully threaded along its 1/2 inch overall length. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it delivers solid corrosion resistance and a low-profile appearance suited to precision assemblies. This fastener conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 standards, making it appropriate for mechanical, industrial, and light structural uses where a countersunk fastener is specified.

Flat socket cap screws like the 211049P are used in applications where a flush or recessed head is required to avoid interference with mating surfaces or moving parts. Common installations include machine frames, fixtures, jigs, panel assemblies, and equipment enclosures. The 8-32 UNC thread is a widely used size in light-duty mechanical assemblies across manufacturing and maintenance environments. Installation is typically performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals using standard hex keys or Allen drivers.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head profile allows flush or countersunk seating in mating material
• 3/32 inch hex socket drive for precise torque application with standard Allen keys
• Fully threaded 1/2 inch overall length for maximum thread engagement
• Alloy steel construction for strength in demanding fastening applications
• Black oxide finish provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC fully threaded flat socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an ASME/ANSI B18.3 or ASTM F835 compliant countersunk fastener in an 8-32 tapped hole.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/32 inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating material is properly countersunk at 82 degrees to match the head angle before fastening. Do not overtighten alloy steel screws in soft substrate materials such as aluminum or plastic, as thread stripping can occur. Verify thread engagement and alignment before applying final torque.
