Value Collection 3TSSF08C008 Flat Socket Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3TSSF08C008 is a flat socket cap screw designed for fastening applications where a flush or countersunk finish is required. Built to UNC thread standards, this screw features an 8-32 thread size and an overall length of 0.5 inches. The 82-degree flat head sits flush with or below the mating surface when installed in a properly countersunk hole. The hex socket drive measures 3/32 inches and requires a matching hex key for installation. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this fastener offers strong resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure, making it suitable for demanding environments. Trade professionals, maintenance technicians, and industrial assemblers commonly specify this fastener for precision work.

This flat socket cap screw is well suited for applications in marine, chemical processing, food service, and general industrial environments where corrosion resistance is critical. The 316 stainless steel grade provides higher molybdenum content than 304, improving resistance to chlorides and pitting. The UNC thread form is compatible with standard inch-based tapped holes and nuts. It is commonly used in panel assembly, equipment enclosures, and mechanical assemblies requiring a low-profile fastener head. This screw ships in a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head countersunk design for flush or below-surface installation
• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and chemical resistance
• 3/32-inch hex socket drive for precise torque application with standard hex keys
• 8-32 UNC thread standard for compatibility with standard inch-system tapped holes
• 0.5-inch overall length suits thin panel and close-tolerance assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC-thread inch-series flat socket cap screw compatible with any 8-32 tapped hole or nut accepting an 82-degree countersunk head.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 3/32-inch hex key or ball-end hex driver. The mating surface must be pre-drilled and countersunk to 82 degrees for proper head seating. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening components in electrical enclosures or control panels. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur; use anti-seize compound when installing into stainless steel tapped holes.
