Product Description
The GROEN 159118 is a 1/4-20 x 1.5-inch slotted pan head machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. This fastener is a direct replacement component for Groen commercial appliance assemblies. The 1/4-20 thread designation indicates a 0.25-inch nominal diameter with 20 threads per inch, a coarse-thread UNC profile suited for metal-to-metal fastening in food service equipment. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or high-humidity commercial kitchen environments. Installation is straightforward and falls within the scope of a qualified appliance service technician or OEM parts replacement procedure.
This screw is used in commercial food service equipment assemblies where Groen specifies a 1/4-20 x 1.5-inch slotted pan head fastener. Typical applications include panel, bracket, and housing assemblies on Groen kettles, steamers, and related commercial cooking equipment. The pan head profile sits flush against flat mounting surfaces without requiring a countersunk hole, making it appropriate for sheet metal and flat plate assemblies common in commercial kitchen appliance construction.
Key Features
- 1/4-20 UNC thread profile: 0.25-inch diameter, 20 threads per inch for reliable metal-to-metal fastening
- 1.5-inch body length suitable for standard panel and bracket stack-ups
- Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers for installation and removal
- Pan head geometry bears load across a flat surface without countersinking
- 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in commercial kitchen and steam environments
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-specified replacement fastener for Groen commercial appliance assemblies requiring a 1/4-20 x 1.5-inch slotted pan head screw in 18-8 stainless steel.
Installation Notes
Power down and de-energize the appliance before disassembling any panel or bracket assembly. Use a properly sized flat-blade screwdriver to avoid cam-out and head damage. Do not overtighten into tapped holes in sheet metal housings, as stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling without appropriate anti-seize compound. Refer to Groen service documentation for torque requirements specific to the assembly being serviced.
