Value Collection 94522 Flat Head Phillips Machine Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 94522 is a flat head Phillips drive machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in metal, plastic, and composite assemblies. It features a #8-32 UNC thread and a 0.5-inch overall length. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, it offers solid corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments. The flat head profile sits flush with or slightly below the mating surface when countersunk correctly, making it a common choice in panels, enclosures, and equipment housings. This screw ships in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package, suitable for service stock or installation jobs requiring bulk fastener supply.

This machine screw is suited for light to medium-duty fastening applications across HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture assemblies, and general mechanical equipment. The #8-32 thread is one of the most widely used UNC fastener sizes in trade work, found in control boards, junction boxes, access panels, and terminal blocks. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for installations where mild corrosion resistance is needed without the cost of exotic alloys. Installers working in commercial and residential service environments will find this screw compatible with standard Phillips screwdrivers and power drivers.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC machine screw replacement for any application requiring an #8-32 x 0.5-inch flat head Phillips fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard Phillips screwdriver or power driver set to an appropriate torque clutch setting to avoid stripping the stainless steel head. Countersink the mating surface to the correct angle before installing a flat head screw to ensure a flush seating. When fastening into threaded metal inserts or tapped holes in equipment housings, confirm thread engagement depth is sufficient before applying final torque. No special tools or trade licenses are required, but follow the equipment manufacturer guidelines and applicable codes when reassembling electrical or mechanical enclosures.
