Description
The 7/8"-9 Flat Head Cap Screw is an ultra-heavy-duty, flush-mount fastener engineered for large-scale structural, mechanical, and industrial assemblies where maximum strength and a clean, unobtrusive finish are required. Designed with an 82° countersunk flat head and an internal hex socket, this fastener delivers high torque capacity, secure thread engagement, and a flush installation surface to reduce interference in demanding environments.
