Value Collection R83924290 8-32 X 2.5 in Round Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R83924290 is an 8-32 x 2.5-inch round head machine screw designed for general fastening applications across mechanical, electrical, and light structural assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers solid corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor environments. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-head screwdriver, making it a practical choice for service work where Phillips or hex tools may not be at hand. Thread size is 8-32 UNC, and length is measured under the head at 2.5 inches. This fastener ships without a washer and is sold in multiples of 100 units.

This screw is suited for use in HVAC panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and general equipment assembly where a corrosion-resistant UNC machine screw is required. The round head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface without the need for a countersunk hole, making it appropriate for mounting thin sheet metal components, junction box covers, and similar flat-mating surfaces. It is commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and maintenance professionals working on equipment that requires stainless fasteners for long-term reliability.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in moisture-prone environments
• 8-32 UNC thread form for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• 2.5-inch length under head provides adequate grip for thick panels and stacked assemblies
• Round head profile eliminates need for countersunk mounting holes
• Slotted drive works with standard flat-head screwdrivers — no specialty tools required
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional tolerances without added coating buildup

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 8-32 UNC machine screw suitable for standard tapped holes, threaded inserts, and hex nuts sized for 8-32 thread in inch-measurement fastener applications.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialty tools — a standard flat-head screwdriver or slotted bit is sufficient. When fastening into tapped metal, confirm the hole thread form matches UNC 8-32 before driving to avoid cross-threading. De-energize any electrical equipment before accessing panels or enclosures where fasteners are being replaced. Do not overtighten stainless fasteners into stainless tapped holes, as galling can occur; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when assembling stainless-to-stainless threaded connections.
