Value Collection R63642688 Flat Head Wood Screw No. 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63642688 is a No. 8 flat head wood screw with a slotted drive, designed for fastening wood materials in light construction, cabinetry, millwork, and general trade applications. The overall length is 1.5 inches. The screw is manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel, which provides corrosion resistance in interior and exterior environments where moisture or humidity may be present. This fastener is appropriate for use by carpenters, finish trades, plumbers securing wood blocking, and HVAC installers mounting equipment to wood substrates. The flat head profile seats flush with the workpiece surface when countersunk, providing a clean finished appearance with no protrusion above the material.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial construction tasks where a corrosion-resistant fastener is required. Typical applications include attaching wood trim, securing junction boxes to wood framing, fastening equipment mounting boards, and general wood-to-wood assembly. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted bits. Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction makes this fastener a practical choice in damp locations such as mechanical rooms, crawl spaces, and outdoor enclosures where standard steel fasteners are prone to rust.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended when driving near the edge of wood stock to prevent splitting. Power drivers should be set to a low torque clutch setting to avoid stripping the slotted recess. For flush seating, countersink the mounting surface to match the flat head angle before driving the screw.
