Value Collection 0305MPF 3-48 X 5/16 in Flat Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0305MPF is a 3-48 thread size machine screw designed for light-duty fastening applications requiring a flush-mount profile. The flat head design seats flush with or below the mating surface, and the Phillips drive allows fast installation with standard hand or power tools. Built from steel with a zinc finish, this screw meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. Overall length is 5/16 inches, measured from tip to top of head, which also equals the length under head. This SKU is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

This machine screw is suited for general assembly and maintenance work across HVAC, electrical, and light mechanical applications where small-diameter fasteners are required. The 3-48 unified coarse thread is commonly found in control panels, junction boxes, equipment housings, and similar sheet metal or light-gauge assemblies. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor service environments. Tradespeople and technicians who regularly service equipment with small fastener hardware will find this a straightforward stock item.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or mechanical assemblers using a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver or matching power bit. De-energize all equipment before accessing internal fasteners in control panels or electrical enclosures, in accordance with applicable NFPA 70 lockout/tagout procedures. Use a properly sized pilot hole or tapped receiving thread to avoid stripping the 3-48 thread. Do not overtighten — small-diameter screws in light-gauge material are susceptible to thread damage under excessive torque.
