When your project calls for a durable, flush-mount fastener for metal-to-metal connections, Hillman No. 8-32 x 2-1/2 in. Phillips flat-head machine screws rise to the task. This 100-pack, boxed for easy storage, delivers consistent threading, corrosion resistance, and dependable performance across a range of indoor and outdoor applications.
Why these screws stand out
-
No. 8-32 thread with a 2-1/2" length – long enough to bite through multiple layers or thicker panels while still seating flush with the head.
-
Flat head with Phillips drive – sits neatly in countersunk holes and provides a clean, professional finish.
-
Zinc-plated steel – robust corrosion resistance for environments that see humidity or exposure to the elements, making them suitable for both indoor and light outdoor use.
-
Coarse thread – optimized for metal-to-metal joints when paired with a tapped hole or nut; designed for dependable seating and reusability.
-
100-piece boxed package – a convenient, bulk-supply option that minimizes trips to the store during larger builds or ongoing projects.
-
Not self-drilling or self-tapping – requires pre-tapped holes or nuts, giving you precise control over engagement and torque.
Ideal use cases
These machine screws excel in applications like:
- Mounting brackets, supports, and hardware to metal frames or enclosures
- Furniture assembly that uses tapped holes or nuts in metal components
- Electrical enclosures, control panels, and steel shelving where a flush, low-profile connection is desired
- Industrial equipment and machinery assemblies that demand consistent thread engagement and repeatable torque
Tips for best results
- Match the length to your material thickness plus nut or tapped-hole depth to avoid excessive protrusion or insufficient engagement.
- Pair with a standard No. 8-32 nut and washer for a clean, secure finish where required.
- Store in the included box to keep fasteners organized by project or size and protect threads from damage.
