Description

APC HC0249 Screw, #4 x 1.00″ OHPHS Stainless

The APC HC0249 is a precision-engineered #4 × 1.00″ OHPHS (Oval Head Phillips) screw manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Designed for applications where a neat, low-profile finish and long-term durability are required, this screw balances mechanical strength with refined aesthetics. Its #4 thread size and one-inch length make it a versatile fastener suitable for light to medium fastening tasks in electronics, small appliances, cabinetry trim, signage, and various assembly jobs where appearance and resistance to rust matter.

The oval head profile provides a slightly rounded, finished look above the mating surface while offering more holding surface than a flat head. This makes the HC0249 ideal for visible assemblies where the fastener will not be countersunk, or where a decorative, clean-headed result is desirable. The Phillips drive recess is optimized for standard Phillips drivers and power tools, promoting quick, repeatable installation with good cam-out resistance when used with proper torque control.

Stainless steel construction is the standout characteristic of this screw. Stainless resists staining and corrosion in humid or outdoor environments and is nonreactive with many common materials, reducing the risk of galvanic corrosion in mixed-metal assemblies if proper material pairing is observed. The HC0249’s stainless composition also contributes to longevity: screws installed once will retain appearance and function far longer than comparable carbon-steel fasteners left uncoated.

Despite its small size, the #4 thread provides reliable engagement in thin metal, plastic, wood, and composite substrates when used with appropriate pilot holes or self-tapping techniques. The one-inch length gives sufficient thread engagement for many through-thin applications and for securing small brackets, clips, and hardware without excessive protrusion. For projects that demand precision, the HC0249 offers consistent thread form and head geometry that simplifies quality control and improves assembly line speed.

Applications for the APC HC0249 stretch across many industries. In electronics and instrumentation, it secures circuit board standoffs, enclosures, and mounting brackets where space is limited and aesthetics are valued. In furniture and cabinetry, it fastens trim pieces, hinges, and hardware where a shallow, rounded head complements the design. Automotive and marine interiors can benefit from its corrosion resistance in areas not exposed to high structural loads. Model makers, hobbyists, and repair technicians also rely on screws of this size for precision assemblies and restoration projects.

Automatic Pool Covers, Inc. took its first steps into the industry in 1979 as a small pool cover distributor. They continued to grow exponentially into the millennium, becoming a leader of the cover distributor industry. As continued to grow, they began to use their vast knowledge of the industry to develop and experiment with their own designs with the hope of making the most efficient, convenient and sturdy product.
