Value Collection 898842PR No.8 Oval Head Slotted Wood Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 898842PR is a No. 8 oval head wood screw designed for fastening applications where a low-profile, finished appearance is required. The oval head sits partially countersunk with a rounded top dome, providing a cleaner look than a flat head in exposed wood joinery. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plated finish, this screw resists corrosion in typical indoor environments. The shank measures 0.75 inches in length under the head and conforms to ASME B18.6.1 dimensional standards for wood screws.

This screw is suited for general woodworking, cabinetry, trim installation, and light construction tasks where a decorative or semi-flush fastener is needed. The No. 8 thread size is a common selection for securing wood components, hardware fittings, and decorative fixtures to wood substrates. The zinc plated finish makes it appropriate for dry to mildly humid interior settings. This SKU ships in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package, making it practical for shop stock or job-site replenishment.

Installation Notes

Install with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot width to avoid cam-out and head damage. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in hardwoods to prevent splitting and ensure proper seating of the oval head. Do not overdrive — the oval head should sit flush to slightly proud of the countersink surface. Follow applicable building or finish carpentry guidelines for fastener spacing and edge distances.
