Value Collection 3TSSF08C006 Flat Socket Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3TSSF08C006 is a flat socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a flush or countersunk finish. The 82-degree flat head seats fully into a countersunk hole, leaving a smooth surface when installed. Drive is a 3/32-inch hex socket, requiring a standard hex key or Allen driver. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this fastener resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and marine environments. Thread size is 8-32 UNC with a 0.375-inch length. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and equipment fabricators use these screws when stainless fasteners are required for panel assemblies, enclosures, and equipment mounting.

This flat socket cap screw is suited for residential and commercial applications where a low-profile fastener is needed in tight clearance zones or on surfaces that must remain flush. Typical uses include securing electrical enclosure covers, HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture brackets, and pool equipment housings exposed to moisture or corrosive conditions. The 316 stainless steel alloy provides superior resistance compared to 304 grade, making it appropriate for saltwater and chemical exposure environments.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head for countersunk, flush-mount installations
• Hex socket drive accepts a 3/32-inch hex key or Allen driver
• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh and wet environments
• 8-32 UNC thread standard for compatibility with standard inch-measurement tapped holes
• 0.375-inch length suits thin panel and enclosure fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for equipment panels, enclosures, and assemblies requiring an 8-32 UNC inch-series flat socket cap screw in 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/32-inch hex key or matching Allen driver. Ensure the receiving hole is properly countersunk to 82 degrees before driving the screw to avoid head protrusion or fastener damage. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur; apply an anti-seize compound when fastening into stainless tapped holes. De-energize any electrical equipment and follow applicable NEC or IPC guidelines before accessing enclosures or panel assemblies.
