Value Collection A98157 8-32 Flat Head Machine Screw 50-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A98157 is a flat head machine screw designed for general fastening applications requiring a flush or countersunk finish. Sized at 8-32 x 1-1/4 inches overall length with a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard, this screw is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The Pin In Torx drive adds a tamper-resistant quality, making it well-suited for installations where unauthorized removal is a concern. Sold in a pack of 50, this fastener is a practical stocking item for maintenance shops, mechanical contractors, and trade professionals who regularly service enclosures, panels, and equipment assemblies.

This screw is appropriate for light to medium-duty mechanical assembly, equipment enclosure mounting, and electrical panel fastening applications where corrosion resistance and a low-profile head are required. The 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and mild chemical exposure, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. The flat head seats flush when installed into a properly countersunk or pre-tapped hole, which is common in sheet metal and fabricated steel assemblies encountered across HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical trades.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC machine screw for use in any application requiring a flat head, Pin In Torx drive fastener in 18-8 stainless steel at 1-1/4 inches overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Pin In Torx driver bit sized to match the drive recess — a standard Torx bit will not engage correctly. The receiving hole should be properly countersunk to accept the flat head angle before installation. Ensure the mating material is tapped or fitted with an appropriately sized insert for 8-32 UNC threads to avoid cross-threading or stripping. De-energize any electrical equipment before accessing enclosures or panels where fastener replacement is required.
