Value Collection R52000289 Flat Head Machine Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000289 is a flat head slotted machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, and light fabrication applications. Threaded 8-32 with an overall length of 0.25 inches, this screw is manufactured from brass, which provides natural corrosion resistance and non-magnetic properties. 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. This screw conforms to ASME B18.6.3 dimensional standards. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per transaction.

This screw is appropriate for residential, commercial, and light industrial settings where a small-diameter, fine-thread fastener is needed. Common applications include mounting terminal blocks, securing panel components, assembling electrical enclosures, and attaching light-duty hardware where brass is preferred over steel for conductivity compatibility or corrosion resistance. The 8-32 thread is a widely used size across HVAC control panels, electrical boxes, and general sheet metal work. Installation is straightforward and requires only a standard flat-blade screwdriver or a matching slotted bit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted power bit sized for a number 8 screw head. Ensure the receiving hole is properly tapped to 8-32 UNC before driving the fastener. Do not overtighten brass screws into steel or aluminum threads, as the softer brass material is susceptible to thread stripping under excessive torque. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when using fasteners inside electrical enclosures.
