Value Collection R52000272 Flat Head Wood Screw Size 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000272 is a flat head wood screw designed for fastening wood components in residential and light commercial construction and finish carpentry applications. Manufactured from brass, this screw offers natural corrosion resistance suited to interior and select exterior applications where ferrous fasteners may react with certain wood species, such as cedar or redwood. The fastener features a Phillips drive for compatibility with standard power and hand drivers. It measures 1.75 inches overall length and is sized as a number 8, conforming to ASME B18.6.1 dimensional standards for consistent fit and performance.

This screw is appropriate for general wood-to-wood fastening tasks including cabinetry, furniture assembly, trim installation, and light structural connections. The flat head profile sits flush with or slightly below the work surface when driven into a countersunk pilot hole, producing a clean finished appearance. Brass construction makes it a practical choice in environments where galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals is a concern. These screws are sold in minimum order quantities of 100 units, making them suitable for production work or job-site stocking.

Key Features

• Brass material provides corrosion resistance and reduces galvanic reaction with reactive wood species
• Flat head profile seats flush when driven into a countersunk hole
• Phillips drive accepts standard Phillips bits for power or hand driving
• Conforms to ASME B18.6.1 dimensional standard for consistent sizing and thread form
• Number 8 thread size with 1.75-inch overall length for versatile wood fastening depth

Compatibility

Designed as a standard number 8 flat head wood screw per ASME B18.6.1, suitable for use in wood-to-wood fastening applications where a Phillips drive, flush-seating flat head, and brass construction are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, finish trades, or general contractors using a Phillips-head driver bit sized to the screw. Drilling a pilot hole and countersink before driving is recommended to prevent wood splitting and to achieve a flush seating of the flat head. Brass fasteners are softer than steel and can cam out or shear if over-torqued, so use controlled driver speed and avoid excessive force. No power shutoff is required for this fastener type unless working in proximity to electrical systems, in which case follow applicable NEC precautions.
