Value Collection R52000273 Flat Head Wood Screw No. 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000273 is a No. 8 flat head wood screw designed for fastening wood components in general construction, millwork, cabinetry, and finish carpentry applications. At 2 inches overall length, the screw features a Phillips drive recess and a countersinking flat head profile that sits flush with the work surface when fully driven. Constructed from brass, it resists corrosion in damp or chemically active environments where steel fasteners would be unsuitable. The screw conforms to ASME B18.6.1, the governing standard for slotted and recessed head wood screws, ensuring consistent head geometry, thread form, and dimensional tolerances across the package.

This fastener is suited for residential and light commercial woodworking tasks where a flush-mount, corrosion-resistant connection is required. Common applications include exterior trim, marine cabinetry, window and door hardware installation, and any assemblies where galvanic compatibility with brass or bronze fittings is a factor. Brass construction also makes this screw appropriate for use near pressure-treated lumber where contact with zinc or standard steel fasteners is undesirable. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• No. 8 thread size with flat countersinking head for flush-surface installation
• Phillips drive for fast, common-tool installation with standard bits
• 2 inches overall length suitable for medium-depth wood-to-wood fastening
• Brass material provides corrosion resistance in damp and chemically active environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.1 dimensional and material standards for wood screws

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 flat head Phillips wood screw per ASME B18.6.1, compatible with softwood and hardwood assemblies requiring a flush-mount brass fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, finish trades, or general contractors using a No. 2 Phillips bit. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in hardwoods and near board edges to prevent splitting. Drive to full countersink depth without over-torquing, as brass is softer than steel and the drive recess can strip under excessive force. Follow applicable building codes for fastener type and spacing in structural or exterior applications.
