Value Collection R88448692 Button Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R88448692 is an 8-32 x 1/2 inch button head machine screw designed for general mechanical fastening applications across a wide range of trades and industries. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, it delivers solid corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor environments. The Pin-In Torx drive requires a matching security bit, making it suitable for tamper-resistant assemblies. Length is measured under the head per standard practice. This fastener follows Unified National Coarse thread standards and is sized in the inch measurement system.

Suited for light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and similar applications where a low-profile button head profile is needed. The 8-32 thread size is commonly found in sheet metal work, control panel fabrication, and equipment mounting scenarios. These screws are handled by electricians, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors during equipment installation and service. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor-adjacent environments
• Button head profile offers a low-profile seating surface with a clean finished appearance
• Pin-In Torx drive supports tamper-resistant fastening where security is required
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy for close-tolerance thread engagement
• UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard 8-32 tapped holes
• Length measured under head per standard fastener convention

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC replacement or new-installation fastener compatible with any application specifying an 8-32 x 1/2 inch button head machine screw with a Pin-In Torx drive in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a Pin-In Torx security bit matched to the drive size. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening screws into panels or enclosures per applicable NEC guidelines. Avoid overtightening stainless steel fasteners into tapped stainless steel holes, as galling can occur without proper lubrication. A calibrated torque driver is recommended for consistent clamp load in repeatable assembly work.
