Value Collection R88444822 8-32 X 1 Button Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R88444822 is an 8-32 x 1 inch button head machine screw designed for general fastening applications across mechanical, electrical, and fabrication work. Made from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, this screw resists corrosion in both indoor and light outdoor environments. The pin-in hex socket drive requires a security bit, making it suitable for tamper-resistant assemblies. Thread size follows the Unified National Coarse (UNC) standard. Length is measured under the head. At 0.0052 pounds per screw, it is lightweight and suited for precision assemblies where minimizing added mass matters.

This machine screw is used across a wide range of trade applications including electrical panel assembly, HVAC equipment enclosures, light fabrication, and control box construction. The button head profile provides a low-profile, flush-style appearance while maintaining solid clamping force. The 8-32 UNC thread pitch is a commonly tapped size found in sheet metal components, brackets, and equipment frames. This screw ships in a minimum order quantity of 100 units per order, making it appropriate for service shops and contractors stocking fasteners in bulk.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Button head profile delivers a low-profile seating surface for flush or near-flush installations
• Pin-in hex socket drive supports tamper-resistant assembly applications
• 8-32 UNC thread standard compatible with widely available tapped holes and threaded inserts
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and avoids coating thickness interference
• Length measured under head for consistent installation depth across assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application with 8-32 UNC tapped holes requiring a button head, pin-in hex socket drive fastener in a 1 inch under-head length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, electricians, HVAC technicians, or general trade workers using a pin-in hex security bit sized for the 8-32 socket. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening components inside panels or enclosures. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel fasteners, as 18-8 stainless is susceptible to galling when driven too aggressively without lubrication. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when securing components inside electrical or HVAC assemblies.
