Value Collection 3TSSF08C004 Flat Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3TSSF08C004 is an 8-32 UNC flat socket cap screw machined from 316 stainless steel. The 82-degree flat head sits flush with or below the surface of the mating material when properly countersunk, making it a common choice where a low-profile, snag-free fastener is required. Drive engagement is through a 3/32-inch hex socket. Overall length is 0.25 inches. The 316 alloy provides strong resistance to chlorides and corrosive environments, which makes this screw a practical selection in marine, chemical, food-service, and outdoor mechanical assemblies.

This screw is used in light mechanical assemblies, panels, enclosures, brackets, and equipment housings where a countersunk flush finish is specified. The 8-32 thread is a standard UNC coarse thread commonly found in electrical enclosures, HVAC controls, and general industrial equipment. Installers in plumbing, electrical, and HVAC trades use these fasteners when securing cover plates, terminal blocks, or mounting hardware that calls for a corrosion-resistant, flush-mount fastener. Minimum order quantity is 10 pieces.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chloride-exposed environments
• 82-degree flat head profile for flush or sub-flush countersunk installation
• 3/32-inch hex socket drive for precise torque application with standard Allen keys
• 8-32 UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with tapped holes in common equipment
• 0.25-inch overall length suits thin panels and shallow countersunk applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNC flat socket cap screw suitable for any tapped or through-hole application calling for an 8-32 x 0.25-inch countersunk fastener in 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized 82-degree countersink in the mating material before driving the screw. Use the correct 3/32-inch hex key or bit to avoid rounding the socket. Do not overtighten in soft substrates such as aluminum or plastic, as the flat head can pull through. Follow applicable mechanical or electrical codes when using fasteners in listed equipment enclosures.
