Value Collection 92593 Flat Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92593 is a 1/4-20 x 2-inch flat head slotted machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. This fully threaded fastener follows Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standards and is designed for applications where corrosion resistance and consistent clamping force matter. The flat head profile seats flush with or below the mating surface, making it well suited for assemblies where a smooth finish is required. Installers working in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and general mechanical assemblies will find this screw a reliable choice for stainless-grade fastening needs.

This screw is appropriate for both residential and light commercial service work. It is commonly used when fastening sheet metal panels, junction box covers, equipment access doors, and structural brackets where a countersunk fastener is specified. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it a practical option in mildly corrosive environments such as outdoor mechanical rooms, humid mechanical spaces, and poolside equipment installations. Overall length is 2 inches with full thread engagement from head to tip, and the length under head is also 2 inches.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hex nuts
• Flat head profile allows flush or countersunk seating in the mating surface
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and power bits
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in humid or mildly corrosive environments
• Bright, uncoated finish with no plating that could flake or delaminate
• Overall length of 2 inches with full-length thread engagement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC flat head slotted machine screw suitable for use with any tapped hole, threaded insert, or hex nut conforming to 1/4-20 UNC thread specifications in inch-measurement applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted power bit sized appropriately for the head. Countersink the mating surface to the correct angle before driving to ensure full flush seating of the flat head. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes when used in load-bearing or code-governed assemblies. Avoid overtorquing stainless steel fasteners, as 18-8 grade is susceptible to galling under excessive torque.
