Value Collection 350-5804-61 Socket Cap Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 350-5804-61 is an 8-32 fully threaded socket cap head machine screw designed for precision fastening applications requiring a tamper-resistant or high-torque Torx drive interface. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this screw measures 0.25 inches under the head and accepts a T25 Torx driver. The black oxide coating provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in finished assemblies. It meets ANSI B18.3, ANSI B18.8.2, ANSI B2.2, and MS16555 fastener standards, making it suitable for applications where dimensional and material compliance is required.

This screw is used across a wide range of industrial, mechanical, and trade applications including HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, pump and motor mounting, and general equipment maintenance. The 8-32 thread size and 0.25-inch length make it a common choice for thin-panel and close-tolerance fastening tasks. Machinists, maintenance technicians, electricians, and HVAC service professionals routinely specify this screw for both OEM assembly and field repair work where a low-profile cap head with recessed drive is required.

Key Features

• Fully threaded 8-32 alloy steel construction for consistent clamp load across the full fastener length
• T25 Torx drive reduces cam-out compared to Phillips or slotted drives in high-torque or confined-space applications
• Black oxide finish provides moderate corrosion resistance and a low-reflectance matte appearance
• Meets ANSI B18.3, ANSI B18.8.2, ANSI B2.2, and MS16555 standards for dimensional and material compliance
• Socket cap head profile allows installation in recessed or countersunk cavities where wrench clearance is limited

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC machine screw compatible with any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to ANSI B2.2 and MS16555 specifications at the 8-32 thread standard.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a T25 Torx driver or bit rated for the fastener size. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastened panels or enclosures. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for 8-32 fasteners, as no torque value is specified for this part. Alloy steel fasteners used in outdoor or high-humidity environments should be evaluated for additional corrosion protection beyond the standard black oxide finish.
