Value Collection 350-5814-61 Socket Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 350-5814-61 is a fully threaded 8-32 socket cap machine screw designed for precision fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment enclosures. It features a Torx T25 drive, which reduces cam-out under torque and allows for tighter access clearances compared to hex socket drives. The screw is manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, providing moderate corrosion resistance and a low-reflectance appearance. At 7/8 inch in length under the head, it suits medium-depth through-hole and tapped-hole installations. It meets ANSI B18.3, ANSI B18.8.2, ANSI B2.2, and MS16555 standards.

This screw is suited for use in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, pump housings, mechanical sub-assemblies, and general industrial fastening where a flush-profile socket cap head and tamper-resistant Torx drive are specified. The black oxide alloy steel construction is commonly used in indoor or sheltered environments where mild corrosion resistance is acceptable. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and field service professionals working on equipment with Torx-specified hardware will find this screw a direct match for standard T25 drive tooling.

Key Features

• 8-32 thread size, fully threaded along the 7/8 inch under-head length
• Torx T25 drive reduces cam-out and suits confined-space fastening
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile strength in mechanical assemblies
• Black oxide finish provides low-reflectance appearance and mild corrosion resistance
• Meets ANSI B18.3, ANSI B18.8.2, ANSI B2.2, and MS16555 fastener standards
• Socket cap head profile keeps fastener low-profile against mating surfaces

Compatibility

Designed for use in any tapped or through-hole application calling for an 8-32 fully threaded socket cap screw with a T25 Torx drive. Conforms to ANSI and MS fastener standards for interchangeability with other compliant hardware.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated T25 Torx driver or bit; do not substitute a close-fitting drive size, as this can damage the drive recess or workpiece. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation. Alloy steel fasteners with black oxide finish are not recommended for continuously wet or outdoor environments without additional corrosion protection. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the assembly being serviced.
