Value Collection R52000290 Machine Screw 8-32 Flat Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000290 is a brass flat head slotted machine screw sized 8-32 x 0.375 inches overall length. Manufactured to ASME B18.6.3 standards, this fastener delivers consistent thread engagement and dimensional accuracy in light-duty mechanical assemblies. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when countersunk correctly, making it a common choice in panel work, instrument enclosures, and electrical equipment. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver, keeping installation simple in confined spaces. Brass construction resists corrosion and eliminates galvanic concerns when used with brass or copper components.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where corrosion resistance and non-magnetic properties matter. Typical uses include securing terminal strips, control board mounting flanges, switch plates, and small equipment panels in HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical service. The 8-32 thread is one of the most common sizes in low-voltage control wiring enclosures and instrument panels, making this screw a practical stocking item for service vans and shop use. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order.

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring an 8-32 x 0.375-inch flat head slotted machine screw in brass, conforming to ASME B18.6.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head. Always ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to 8-32 before driving the screw to avoid cross-threading or stripping. For flush seating, the receiving material should be countersunk at the correct angle to match the flat head geometry. Do not over-torque brass fasteners, as brass is softer than steel and the head or threads can be damaged easily.
