Value Collection R52000878 Machine Screw 8-32 Flat Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000878 is a flat head Phillips machine screw designed for general fastening applications across mechanical assembly, enclosure work, and equipment maintenance. Threaded 8-32 with an overall length of 5/16 inches, this screw is manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in standard indoor environments. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the mating surface, making it suitable for panels, brackets, and assemblies where a low-profile fastening point is required. Compliance with ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 ensures dimensional consistency for predictable fit in standard 8-32 tapped holes.

This screw is appropriate for light-duty mechanical assemblies in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing access covers, and general trade service work. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power and manual screwdrivers, making installation fast in both shop and field settings. The zinc-plated steel construction suits dry or mildly humid indoor conditions. This item is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 units per transaction.

• Zinc-plated steel finish provides corrosion resistance for indoor use
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional standards for consistent fit
• Inch measurement system; length under head is 5/16 inches

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 machine screw for use in any pre-tapped or threaded insert hole conforming to 8-32 UNC thread specifications per ASME B18.6.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or compatible power driver bit. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to 8-32 UNC before driving to avoid cross-threading or stripping. Do not overtighten into thin sheet metal or plastic standoffs, as the fine thread is susceptible to stripping under excessive torque. Verify the countersink angle of the receiving surface matches the flat head geometry before final assembly.
