Value Collection 94521 Machine Screw 8-32 X 3/8 in Flat Head Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 94521 is a flat head, Phillips drive machine screw designed for general fastening applications requiring a flush or countersunk finish. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw offers solid corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of environments. The 8-32 UNC thread designation indicates a coarse unified thread form with a nominal diameter of number 8 and 32 threads per inch. Overall length and length under head are both 3/8 inches. This fastener is handled and installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general trade professionals working with panel assemblies, equipment enclosures, and brackets.

This screw is well suited for light-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial trade work where a low-profile, flush-mount fastener is required. Common applications include securing electrical panel covers, equipment access doors, junction box covers, and sheet metal components. The Phillips drive accommodates standard and powered drivers, making installation efficient in both tight and open spaces. The stainless steel construction performs in damp or corrosive conditions where carbon steel fasteners may degrade over time.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fastener requires a correctly sized Phillips screwdriver or bit - use of an incorrect driver size risks cam-out and fastening damage. When driving into tapped metal, ensure the receiving thread is clean and free of debris before engagement. For applications subject to vibration, consider the use of a thread-locking compound or appropriate hardware to prevent loosening. Always de-energize electrical equipment before fastening or removing hardware on live panels.
