Value Collection 3TSSF98C208 Flat Socket Cap Screw 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3TSSF98C208 is a flat socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a flush or countersunk head profile. The 82-degree flat head seats fully into a matching countersunk hole, leaving a smooth surface when fully driven. The hex socket drive accepts a 5/16-inch hex key for high-torque installation in tight clearance areas. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this screw offers strong corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or marine environments. Thread size is 1/2-13 UNC with an overall length of 2.5 inches. Suitable for use by mechanical contractors, maintenance technicians, and industrial assemblers working in corrosion-prone conditions.

This flat socket cap screw is suited for industrial, marine, HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical system applications where a flush fastener profile is required. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for installations exposed to moisture, saltwater, or mildly corrosive chemicals. Common use cases include equipment mounting, structural panel fastening, and piping support assemblies where a protruding fastener head is not acceptable. This screw is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head seats flush in standard countersunk holes for a smooth surface finish
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive allows high-torque installation with a standard hex key or Allen driver
• 316 stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance versus 304 grade in chloride and marine environments
• 1/2-13 UNC thread form for broad compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 2.5-inch overall length suits medium-depth fastening applications
• Minimum order quantity of 5 pieces supports job-lot purchasing for service and maintenance work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series flat socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 1/2-13 UNC countersunk fastener with an 82-degree head angle.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a correctly sized countersunk hole to match the 82-degree head angle; use the appropriate countersink bit before driving the fastener. A 5/16-inch hex key or Allen-drive bit is required for installation and removal. Apply thread-compatible anti-seize compound when installing stainless steel fasteners into stainless steel tapped holes to prevent galling. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for fastener torque and joint design.
