L H Dottie Co T1032112SP 10-32 X 1-1/2 Spanner Pan Screw

Product Description

The L H Dottie Co T1032112SP is a 10-32 x 1-1/2 inch spanner pan head machine screw sold individually. This fastener features a pan head profile and is driven by a spanner bit, which requires a specialty tool rather than a standard Phillips or flathead driver. That drive type is commonly specified in tamper-resistant applications where controlled access to fasteners is required. Electricians, low-voltage installers, and general trade professionals use this style of screw in electrical enclosures, panel covers, and equipment access panels where tamper resistance is a priority.

This machine screw is suited for light commercial and residential trade applications. The 10-32 thread designation indicates a number 10 diameter with 32 threads per inch, a fine-thread specification common in electrical and electronic equipment mounting. The 1-1/2 inch length accommodates moderate material stack-ups such as sheet metal panels, junction box covers, and equipment chassis assemblies. It is typically installed by electricians or low-voltage technicians during panel assembly or service work.

Key Features

• 10-32 thread size with 32 threads per inch for fine-thread engagement
• 1-1/2 inch length suitable for panel covers and equipment chassis
• Pan head profile provides a low, wide bearing surface
• Spanner drive requires a specialty bit, adding tamper resistance
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit replacement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 fine-thread machine screw for use in electrical enclosures, panel covers, and equipment assemblies that require a spanner pan head fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a spanner driver bit sized for this fastener — a standard Phillips or flathead driver will not engage the drive recess. Always de-energize electrical equipment and follow NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout/tagout procedures before removing or replacing panel fasteners. Verify thread engagement before applying torque to avoid stripping threads in thin sheet metal.
