Value Collection 94528 Machine Screw 8-32 X 2 in Flat Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 94528 is a flat head Phillips drive machine screw designed for general-purpose mechanical fastening in metal, wood, and composite assemblies. Measuring 8-32 thread size with a 2-inch overall length, this screw is manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the mating surface when installed in a countersunk hole, making it well suited for applications where a smooth surface finish is required. HVAC techs, electricians, plumbers, and general maintenance professionals use this fastener when corrosion resistance and a clean installed appearance are both priorities.

This screw is appropriate for light to medium fastening tasks in residential and commercial trade applications. Common uses include panel assembly, equipment enclosure work, junction box mounting, and control cabinet fabrication. The 8-32 UNC thread form is one of the most common machine screw thread sizes in North American trade applications, making it easy to source matching nuts and inserts. The stainless steel construction makes this screw a practical choice in humid or corrosive environments such as mechanical rooms, pool equipment enclosures, and outdoor electrical panels.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC machine screw for use wherever a flat head Phillips fastener with 2-inch length and 18-8 stainless steel construction is specified.

Installation Notes

A properly sized countersink must be prepared in the mating material before installation to allow the flat head to seat flush. Drive with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or bit at low torque to avoid stripping the recess in stainless steel fasteners, which are more susceptible to galling than carbon steel. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure before installing or removing fasteners inside. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening within electrical panels or control cabinets.
