Value Collection R63009228 Flat Socket Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63009228 is a flat socket cap screw designed for flush or countersunk fastening applications where a low-profile head is required. Sized at 8-32 UNC thread with an overall length of 0.5 inches, this screw features an 82-degree flat head and a 3/32-inch hex socket drive. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, it offers solid corrosion resistance for use in moderate to mildly corrosive environments. This fastener is a standard choice for mechanical assemblies, panels, and equipment enclosures across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general trade applications.

This flat socket cap screw is suited for applications requiring a countersunk, flush-mount fastener in ferrous and non-ferrous assemblies. The 8-32 UNC thread pitch makes it a common size in light-duty mechanical and electrical equipment. Installations in control panels, junction boxes, equipment housings, and precision mechanical assemblies are typical use cases. A licensed or experienced trade professional installing control boards, access panels, or enclosures will encounter this fastener size regularly.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated 3/32-inch hex key or Allen driver to ensure proper engagement and avoid cam-out. Power down or de-energize any electrical equipment before accessing fasteners on panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur — apply thread lubricant where appropriate. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when reassembling electrical enclosures or control panels.
