Value Collection R56002058 8-32 X 3/8 in Round Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56002058 is a #8-32 x 3/8 inch machine screw designed for general fastening applications requiring corrosion resistance. Featuring a round head with a slotted drive, this screw is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The 3/8 inch length is measured under the head, conforming to standard inch-series UNC thread specifications. Grade 316 stainless provides superior resistance to chlorides and harsh environments compared to Grade 304, making it a practical choice where moisture, salt air, or chemical exposure is a factor.

This screw is suited for use in marine, HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial assembly applications where corrosion-resistant fasteners are specified. The slotted drive accommodates a standard flat-blade screwdriver, and the round head profile sits above the mating surface, making it appropriate for through-hole installations where a low-profile finish is not required. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, these screws are practical for service kits, panel assembly, and equipment maintenance tasks across multiple trades.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-blade screwdriver sized for a #8 screw head. Torque to the hardware manufacturer's specification for the mating material to avoid thread stripping. When fastening into aluminum, plastics, or dissimilar metals, verify compatibility with Grade 316 stainless to prevent galvanic corrosion concerns. Always confirm the mating thread is clean and free of debris before driving.
