Value Collection R52000318 8-32 X 5/8 in Round Head Slotted Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000318 is a round head, slotted machine screw manufactured from brass to ASME B18.6.3 standards. Sized at 8-32 thread with a 5/8-inch length measured under the head, this fastener is suited for general mechanical assembly, electrical enclosures, panel work, and light-duty hardware applications where brass is preferred for corrosion resistance or conductivity considerations. This screw ships in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it practical for service stock, repair kits, or production line replenishment. Installation requires a standard flat-blade screwdriver or matching slotted bit. No washer is included or required by design.

This screw is commonly used in trade and light industrial settings where an 8-32 thread pattern is specified. Typical applications include mounting components inside electrical panels, HVAC control boards, small appliance frames, and instrumentation enclosures. Brass construction makes it a common choice where ferrous fasteners would introduce galvanic corrosion concerns or where a non-magnetic fastener is needed. The round head profile sits flush over the surface without countersinking, distributing clamping load across a wider bearing area.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for broad hardware compatibility
• 5/8-inch length under head for consistent depth control during assembly
• Round head profile eliminates need for countersunk holes
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bits
• Brass construction resists corrosion and suits non-magnetic applications
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 x 5/8-inch round head slotted machine screw for use in any application requiring an ASME B18.6.3-compliant brass fastener of this thread and length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed with a properly sized flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. When used in electrical enclosures or panels, de-energize all circuits before fastener work in accordance with applicable NFPA 70 lockout/tagout procedures. Do not overtighten brass screws, as the material is softer than steel and threads can strip under excessive torque. Brass fasteners are not suitable as structural load-bearing fasteners in high-stress applications.
