Value Collection R63264842 Flat Head Wood Screw No.5 Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63264842 is a No. 5 flat head wood screw designed for general fastening applications in wood substrates. Manufactured from brass, this screw offers natural corrosion resistance without plating, making it suitable for use in damp environments or where galvanic compatibility with brass fittings is required. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the surface when fully driven. At 5/8 inches overall length, it is sized for light-duty fastening tasks where minimal thread engagement is needed and material thickness is limited.

This screw is used in residential and light commercial woodworking, cabinetry, trim work, and finish carpentry where a non-ferrous fastener is preferred. Electricians and plumbers occasionally specify brass screws for device covers, access panels, and fixture mounting in corrosive or moisture-prone areas. The Phillips drive style is compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits.

Key Features

• Flat head profile allows flush or countersunk installation in wood surfaces
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance without surface coating
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips screwdriver bits
• No. 5 thread size suited for light-duty fastening in thin stock or trim applications
• 5/8 inches overall length minimizes material blowout in shallow workpieces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 5 flat head wood screw for general wood fastening applications. Verify thread size and drive style requirements before ordering.

Installation Notes

Pilot holes are recommended when driving brass screws into hardwood to prevent shearing the head or twisting the shank. Use a No. 2 Phillips bit at low torque settings to avoid cam-out and head damage. Brass fasteners are softer than steel, so avoid impact drivers. Power down any equipment and follow applicable codes when using these screws in electrical or plumbing panel applications.
